Azerbaijan is going to hold their presidential elections today but the excitement is slightly dimished due to some early SPOILERS!
That is to say the Central election committee accidentally revealed the results of the votes on their smartphone app before the voting had even begun. The fact that the election is a scam is not a suprise to anyone but this is still embarrassing to the goverment. Their initial claim was that they accidentally released the results from last elections, though the candidates are this years candidates, not the one's from 2008.*
But since they already had everything planned and confetti bought and so on, they went through with the motions anyway and after "counting the votes totally for realz this time" president Aliyev has been re-elected again.

That would have been more believable since it could have had the current candidates.
