Republic of Congo President Denis Sassou N'Guesso has hailed his re-election as "the real will of the people". Sassou N'Guesso's emerged victorius in the first-round, with 60% of the vote. The results must now be validated by the Constitutional Court. Sunday's poll came five months after a constitutional referendum removed term and age limits that would have barred the 72-year-old leader from extending his 32-year rule. His supporters have high expectations.
