Mali president Keita officially wins re-election with 67% of vote

Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita won re-election with 67 percent of the vote in a run-off against opposition rival Soumaila Cisse, the Ministry of Territorial Administration announced on Thursday.

The victory gives Keita a second term in the mostly desert West African country where militant violence and claims of fraud by the opposition marred the poll.
