After the polls closed on Wednesday, the commission said Aliyev had won 85 percent of the vote. His closest contender, Jamil Hasanli, trailed with less than 6 percent, it said. The commission apologized for the early result, saying Thursday it had been only a test at one polling station conducted by the software developer. It expressed "deep regret" for the "misunderstanding." Opposition candidate Jamil Hasanli holds ballots as he speaks at a news conference in Baku on Thursday. Hasanli called the vote rigged and demanded a new election.[/QUOTE] Mugabe level stuff here.
