Opposition parties in Niger have rejected the first partial results of Sunday's presidential and parliamentary elections, the AFP news agency reports.
"We cannot recognise them such as they have been proclaimed so far," a spokesman for the opposition coalition, Aboubacar Cisse, said.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) is expected to announce the final result later this week.
The run-up to the vote was marred by accusations of repression and a row over identification documents. President Mahamadou Issoufou is hoping to secure a second term in the impoverished West African nation.
