Mauritania's Constitutional Council on Thursday confirmed the re-election of President Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani in last weekend's elections. 

The court validated Monday's first-round results, which put Ghazouani in the lead with 56.12 percent of the vote. 

No appeals were lodged with the court within the permitted timeframe after the announcement of the results from Saturday's election, said its secretary general Aminatou Mint El Khaless at a ceremony in Nouakchott.
