President wins election
As expected, Blaise Compaore, the incumbent president of Burkina Faso, won the latest elections by a huge majority, with about 80% of the vote.
This is his third electoral win, although previous elections, in 1991 and 1996, were virtually unopposed. This time round, the opposition were too divided to mount a serious challenge.
