At the risk of being pedantic they have just held an election, they are therefore a democracy. How they conduct that election is a different matter as I have said.
Its a subtle point but enough to prevent intervention from the West as the US doesnot want to be put in the position of invading and deposing a democratically elected leader, just because he's a bit of a murdering bar steward. If slaughtering your own people was grounds for international action we'd be at war with a good deal of central and South America, Africa and parts of Asia.
