BANGUI, Central African Republic, Jumada I 11, 1437, Feb 20, 2016, SPA -- The head of Central African Republic's election body says a former prime minister who came in second during the first round of balloting has won the country's presidential runoff vote, according to AP. Marie-Madeleine Hoornaert N'Kouet announced Saturday that Faustin Archange Touadera earned 62 percent of the vote held on Feb. 14, defeating Anicet Georges Dologuele, another former prime minister who had been endorsed by the third-place finisher. Central African Republic has been run by a transitional government since 2014, when a former rebel leader whose forces fought their way to power the previous year stepped down under intense international pressure. -- SPA 20:27 LOCAL TIME 17:27 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
