According to the committee,
6,956,900 out of 8,380,217 potential voters, or 83.02 percent of the voting
population, cast their ballots in the election.
The CPP received 4,889,113 votes, or 76.85 percent, of valid votes. The

in the National Assembly.
This is the first time the CPP has swept up all seats in the parliament since
the election in 1993, thus opening up opportunities for the Party to make major
decisions and policies for the country over the next five years.
