The constitutional court in Algeria has confirmed that President Abdelmadjid Tebboune had won a second term with 84.30% of the vote in an election on September 7.
The final voter turn-out reached 46.10%, state media added.
The campaign of rival candidate Abdelaali Hassani Cherif had previously alleged irregularities in the count.
President Tebboune, backed by the military, was facing only nominal opposition from a moderate Islamist, Hassani Cherif and a moderate secularist, Youcef Aouchiche both running with the blessing of Algeria’s powerful establishment.
Media reported that Hassani Cherif received 9.56% of the vote while Aouchiche got 6.14%.
