Bouteflika wins fourth term
[MAGHAREBIA] In a result that surprised no one, 77-year-old Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika was re-elected with 81.53% of the vote.

Ali Benflis, the sitting president's main rival, took home just 12.18% of the ballots in the results unveiled on Friday (April 18th).

Benflis claimed to have information about widespread irregularities, which allegedly increased as the polls neared closing time.
