Algeria‘s Abdelaziz Bouteflika, ailing but still president

Algeria‘s Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who won a fourth presidential term on Friday with nearly 82 percent of the votes cast, was victorious despite frail health preventing him from even campaigning.

The ailing 77-year-old had to vote from a wheelchair on Thursday after not appearing in public since May 2012.
