The Gambia’s President Adama Barrow has easily won re-election, authorities there said, in the first vote for decades held without long-term leader Yahya Jammeh.
President Barrow received around 53% of Saturday’s vote, with nearest rival Ousainou Darboe on 28%.
Mr Darboe and other candidates earlier said they could not accept the results of the poll.
The vote is being seen as a test for democracy in the country.
In the last election, Mr Barrow defeated Yahya Jammeh, who was forced into exile after refusing to accept the result.
