“Others” refers to candidates of a large number of parties for which the 
ddata website gives only acronyms, which I have not been able to 
identify. None of these parties won more than two seats.

It will be noted that because of the high level of invalid votes, the 
MPS actually polled only 45% of the votes of those casting votes. It 
will also be noted that despite the fact that the electoral system is 
supposed to be proportional, the MPS won 72% of the seats with only 52% 
of the valid vote. This is because the opposition was so fragmented 
among numerous minor parties that in many Departments the MPS won all 
the seats with a minority vote.
