      Wasn’t the previous one somewhere in the 90-ish percent? This is a huge loss!

          I made a joke about that percentage the day before this farce – I can’t call them elections – but I never thought that would become a reality. Secondly, are we going to accept ‘‘elections’’ held in a territory occupied by military forces. Nobody should be that naive.

            I agree with you, the entire thing was a farce. There’s no way he LEGITIMATELY got 88% of the vote. Just another dictator, doing dictator things.
