Burkina Faso's Compaore Claims Victory,
Angers Opposition 1
布基纳法索总统龚保雷的获胜激怒反对派
Opposition candidates also say there was fraud, but that it's impossible to prove, accusing Mr. Compaore of having what they call a "well-oiled system" of cheating.
His campaign manager Mafarma Sanogo denies this. She also says it's normal Mr. Compaore's team is claiming victory since they have tabulated 3 their own results.
Mrs. Sanogo: The declaration of my candidate was based on data we had from the voter offices because in all the vote offices, our party, we had a lot of representatives who worked to give us quickly the result.
International observers, led by the African Union, said the voting was peaceful, orderly and apparently 4 clean. But a lawmaker from Sierra Leone, Daouda Souleiman Camara, says he was surprised by the lack of enthusiasm.
Mr. Camara: I did not find that here. I do not know whether this should be attributed to the fact that there is no money but my understanding, in the country where I come from Sierra Leone, we don't have money also, but campaign time is a period of open activity, when people are encouraged to meet and talk and discuss, play, and dance, and promote the interests of the candidate they support, that was largely absent here.
Even though there were a dozen candidates on the ballot 5, Mr. Compaore is largely expected to win outright 6 in the first round. He has ruled since a coup 7 in 1987 and a new constitutional two-term mandate 8 is not being applied 9 retroactively.
A resident of the capital Ouagadougou, Abdoulaye Gandema, says Mr. Compaore also benefited from a disproportionate financial advantage.
Mr. Gandema: I think it's really shocking what is happening here in terms of financial means because the gap between Mr. Compaore and the rest of the candidates is huge, it's incredible and I just can't tell.
Mr. Compaore's team says he benefited from internal and outside aid, because they say he is so popular. Other West African leaders have accused him of backing rebellions, a charge Mr. Compaore repeatedly faces and denies.
Early official results are expected to start coming in Thursday.
