Dodoma [Tanzania], November 1 (ANI): Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been declared the winner of the country's disputed presidential election with nearly 98 percent of the vote, after leading rivals were excluded from the race, Al Jazeera reported.

The final result announced by the electoral commission on Saturday showed Hassan had won 97.66 percent of Wednesday's vote, dominating every constituency.

A spokesman for the main opposition party Chadema, John Kitoka, which was barred from taking part in the election, slammed Hassan's victory as a "mockery of the democratic process".

"We are calling for the intervention by a credible body to oversee another fresh election," Al Jazeera quoted him as saying.
