Challengers to Abkhazia's incumbent president who won Saturday's vote highlighted on Sunday widespread violations and vowed to appeal the results.

Bagapsh defeated four other candidates in the first election in Abkhazia since the former Georgian republic was recognized by Russia with 59.4% of the vote, according to preliminary results.

"We do not recognize the results and will appeal to the Central Election Commission and in court," main opposition candidate and former vice president Raul Khadzhimba, who scored 15.4% of the vote, told reporters.

President of Abkhazia Re-elected by Wide Margin

By ELLEN BARRY

MOSCOW — Voters in Abkhazia, the separatist enclave in Georgia, have re-elected President Sergei V. Bagapsh by a decisive margin, amid protests from the Georgian government that the vote was invalid.

His closest rival among four other candidates, Raul Khajimba, a former agent in the Russian F.S.B. security service, trailed with 15.4 percent. Turnout was 73 percent, election officials said.

Mr. Khajimba alleged widespread violations and vowed to challenge the results in court.

Mr. Bagapsh, a former energy tycoon, spent ...
