Burkina Faso’s top court on Friday certified that President Christian Kabore had been elected for a second five-year term in a November poll.
“The candidate Kabore, Roch Marc Christian, is elected president,” Constitutional Court head Kassoum Kambou announced.
Kambou said the staging of the November 22 election was “normal,” despite opposition accusations of irregularities.
Kabore, 63, has vowed to step up efforts to roll back a five-year-old jihadist insurgency that has had a devastating effect on the impoverished Sahel country.
At least 1,200 people have died and around one million have fled their homes.
Because of the unrest, the election was not held across at least one-fifth of the territory, reducing the potential pool of voters from 6.49 million to 5.89 million in a population of 20 million, according to the country’s electoral board, CENI.
