Incumbent President Ilham Aliyev appeared to be headed to an expected landslide victory in Azerbaijan's presidential election Wednesday in an early vote he called following his government’s swift reclaiming of a region formerly controlled by ethnic Armenian separatists. With just over 93% of the ballots counted, Aliyev had 92.05% of the votes, the head of the Central Election Commission, Mazahir Panahov, reported in the early hours of Thursday. Three of his challengers have conceded and congratulated Aliyev on winning reelection, the Interfax Azerbaijan news agency reported.
