 LOME, Togo (AP) - Togo's constitutional court on Tuesday certified election results showing that the son of this West African nation's late dictator won last month's disputed presidential elections, raising concerns of a return to the deadly street riots that triggered an exodus of 20,000 refugees.
Chief Justice Atsu Koffi Amagah confirmed last week's electoral commission results, saying Faure Gnassingbe won 60 percent of the vote.
Opposition leader Bob Akitani had filed an appeal to contest the official outcome, complaining ballot boxes were stuffed and stolen, and voter lists were tampered with.
