Comoros is holding a parliamentary election that some opposition leaders have pledged to boycott. They accuse President Azali Assoumani and his ruling party of adopting an increasingly authoritarian stance and have raised concerns over the integrity of the vote.

Chad's ruling party won two-thirds of the seats in the legislative election which was boycotted by many in the opposition last month, provisional results showed on Sunday, reinforcing President Mahamat Idriss Deby's hold on power.

Chad’s ruling party took the majority of votes in last month’s parliamentary election that the main opposition party boycotted.
