Slovakia president wins re-election

---

BRATISLAVA, April 5 (AFP): Slovakia's President Ivan Gasparovic was re-elected to a second term in office after defeating the first woman to reach a runoff vote, official results showed Sunday.
Gasparovic won 55.5 per cent of the vote in Saturday's election while opposition candidate Iveta Radicova took 44.5 per cent, according to official results published by the national election committee.
Despite her defeat, Radicova and her opposition allies were given a boost by her historic presidential bid ahead of general elections next year, analysts said.
