- Published on 02 Dec 15

a. R. M. C. Kabore
b. Roch March Christian Kabore
c. Both a and b are the same
d. Z. Diabre

ANSWER: Both a and b are the same
 
The preliminary results of the Burkina Faso election provided Roch March Christian Kabore with an outright win. He is the winner of the freest election since this West African country won independence from France in 1960, dedicated his victory to those who died overthrowing strongman Blaise Compaore last year and during a failed military coup in September. Kabore avoided a runoff by winning 53 percent of the vote. Second closest contender Diabre had nearly 30 percent of the vote, according to preliminary results. Fourteen candidates took part in presidential elections.
