These figures come from the FFS website, and I have no way of 
knowing how accurate they are. In any case the official figures 
were widely held to be falsified.

Bouteflika was the candidate of the outgoing military regime. The
opposition candidates agreed to contest the elections after 
assurances that it would be free and fair, but all withdrew the day 
before polling, claiming voting fraud was being planned by the 
interior ministry.
