BANGUI, Central African Republic, Rabi'I 28, 1437, January 08, 2016, SPA -- Central African Republic's long-awaited presidential election is now headed to a runoff round later this month between two former prime ministers, election officials announced Thursday, according to AP. No candidate received more than 50 percent during the first round held late last month, according to final provisional results released by the National Election Authority. The runoff is scheduled for Jan. 31, authorities said. Anicet Georges Dologuele led the crowded field with 23.8 percent of the vote. The other candidate advancing is Faustin Archange Touadera, who had 19.4 percent. Thursday's results now must be certified by the transitional government's constitutional court. Other candidates have said they plan to lodge complaints about the first round, a move that can only take place once final results have been handed to the court under the country's electoral code. --SPA 01:30 LOCAL TIME 22:30 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
