After winning Algeria's election, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune joined his two opponents in criticising the election authority for announcing results that contradicted earlier turnout figures and local tallies.
Hours later, Tebboune and his opponents issued a joint statement accusing the top election official of announcing contradictory results and questioning the reporting of the election outcomes.
It's unclear what will happen next after all three candidates cast doubt on the irregularities and whether this will lead to legal challenges or delay the final certification of the results.
Such high abstention rates, which remain unofficial, would surpass the 2019 presidential election when 39.9% of the electorate participated.
