From RFE/RL, Azerbaijani Service: With nearly 80 percent of the October 9 vote counted, electoral authorities said incumbent President Ilham Aliyev had nearly 85 percent of the vote, putting him on track for a landslide reelection to a third five-year term. The results showed the candidate of the united opposition, Camil Hasanli, with around just 5 percent. Hasanli has accused the authorities of vote fraud and ballot stuffing, saying the "total falsification of elections is a brutal violation of people’s right to elections." Aliyev described the balloting as free, transparent, and a "triumph for democracy."
