Incumbent President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita of Mali has won a landslide victory in the West African nation's presidential runoff election. Official results announced Thursday reveled Keita won 67 percent of the vote from Sunday's second round, soundly beating challenger and opposition leader Soumaila Cisse. Turnout in the runoff vote was an abysmally low 34 percent, as voters stayed away due to threats of violence by jihadist militants. The government stepped up security for Sunday's run-off, deploying 6,000 troops in addition to the 30,000 who already were on duty. But despite the added security, a polling station president was killed in the northern Timbuktu region and the polling station there was burned. 在西非国家马里，现任总统易卜拉欣·布巴尔卡·凯塔以压倒性优势赢得总统决选。 周四公布的官方结果显示凯塔赢得了周日第二轮选举67％的选票，击败了挑战者和反对派领袖西塞。 由于圣战组织激进分子的暴力威胁，选民们没有参加投票，因此投票率极低，仅为34％。 政府加强了对周日决选的保安，除了三万名已经执勤的人员外，还部署了6,000名士兵。 但是，尽管增加了安全措施，一个投票站站长在北部廷巴克图地区遇害，投票站被焚烧。 |
