Mali’s President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita: fails to win outright |
Mali’s presidential election will go into a run-off vote after President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita failed to get enough votes to win a second term in office outright, the Ministry of Territorial Administration said in a statement on Thursday.
Keita won 41 percent of the vote while rival Soumaila Cisse won 17.8 percent, it said.
They will meet in a runoff vote later this month.
The election was held on Sunday amidst fears of Jihadist attacks
