The presidential and legislative elections in the Central African Republic are ''legitimate'' and ''credible'', government spokesman, Ange Maxime Kazagui said Tuesday.

"Despite a few reported incidents within the country, the voting process continued to completion", Mariam Aladji, head of mission of the the Community of Sahel Saharan States (CEN-SAD) said.
Kazagui said the election was held in the 16 prefectures of the Central African Republic, adding that 800 polling stations were not opened, out of 5,408. ''This means that 85% of the polling stations were open to the public", he said.
