Comment

The president is elected on a two-round system: a candidate must receive more than 50 percent of valid votes. If not, a second round takes place within 21 days after the declaration of the presidential first round results. The second round, with a 15 day campaign period, is contested by the two candidates who received the largest number of votes.
