Milan Bandic, the populist mayor of Croatia's capital facing corruption charges, has been re-elected for a sixth term, official results showed Monday.
Bandic has run Zagreb, a city of about 800,000 people, almost continuously since 2000, and is considered one of the most influential politicians in the European Union member-state.
He was forced to resign in 2002 following a drink-driving scandal in which he fled from police, but he was re-elected in 2005.
