"Yesterday"s vote was an impressive display of democratic elections," Joao Soares, the head of the observation mission from the OSCE"s Parliamentary Assembly, said.

He said that the vote should serve as the basis for a peaceful transition of power.

"It is now time for the country"s political leaders to listen to the people"s verdict and make sure that the transition of power is peaceful and constructive," he said.

Other observers were also positive about the vote.

"The pessimistic scenarios put forward before election day were proven wrong by the overwhelmingly efficient and non-partisan manner in which election commissions performed yesterday and by the high turnout," said Assen Agov, head of the delegation of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

"This has been a well-administered and truly competitive election, offering voters a clear choice," said Heidi Tagliavini, head of the election observation mission of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions
