Equatorial Guinea: President’s re-election slightly short of 100%

Equatorial Guinea, the oil rich central African country, Sunday re-elected President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, 67, with a whopping 97% of the total votes cast. According to France24 “The provisional result was just short of Obiang’s 2002 score of 97.1 percent and will come as little surprise to analysts and critics who noted the lack of credible rivals, and the lack of access to the elections for foreign media.”
