Congo President Denis Sassou Nguesso re-elected
He won 60% of the vote, against 15% for his nearest challenger, the interior minister announced.
The opposition says the vote was marred by "massive fraud".
It says the communications blackout announced during the vote was designed to prevent observers from monitoring the election.
Mr Sassou Nguesso has been in power since 1979, except for a five-year period after losing elections in 1992.
The constitution was changed after an October referendum to remove term and age limits which would have prevented the 72-year-old from standing again.
Riot police fired tear gas at opposition activists who complained about alleged irregularities after voting ended on Sunday in the capital, Brazzaville.
Guy-Brice Parfait Kolelas got 15% of the vote, while General Jean-Marie Michel Mokoko came third with 14%, the minister said.
Before voting day, Congolese Interior Minister Raymond Mboulou had ordered telephone operators to cut all communications - telephone, text messages and the internet.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
