Extremely low turnout was reported, following months of protests against the government.
With the opposition boycotting the election, those who turned out had no actual choice of who to vote for.
Around the country, clashes broke out between opposition protesters and supporters of the government.
In at least two cases, police opened fire on protesters, killing four.
According to the government, more than two hundred polling locations were burned down over the weekend.
With every seat now in the hands of the current government, the opposition has lost the ability to work within the laws of the constitution.
They are pledging to continue their protests, but to what avail is unclear.
