President Jorge Carlos Fonseca of Cape Verde has been re-elected for a second term.
According to provisional results, Mr Fonseca polled 73% of the vote, winning a landslide victory in the first round.
The 66-year-old was up against two independent candidates, Albertino Graça and Joaquim Monteiro.
Cape Verde is now used to peaceful elections.
As a testament to that peaceful tradition, former President Pedro Pires was awarded the Mo Ibrahim Prize for good governance after he left office in 2010.
