What next after CAR election results?
After rejecting all petitions filed by several opposition candidates calling for the cancellation of the 27 December presidential election, the Central Africa Republic’s Constitutional Court has declared Faustin Archange Touadéra the winner.
But the election results have huge legitimacy problems, with just about 35% turnout.
Most of the 16 opposition candidates in last month’s polls rejected the elections, citing what they called large-scale fraud and insecurity.
One of them, former Prime Minister Martin Ziguélé, told the BBC that opposition leaders will meet on Tuesday to decide on the next steps to take.
