The President is elected indirectly by Parliament in joint session, with regional delegates under the constitutional rules. Votes shown are from the decisive ballot only; earlier rounds are not combined. Percentages use participating electors, including explicitly labelled blank, invalid and dispersed ballots. No popular turnout is inferred.
