Ivory Coast citizens went to the polls on Saturday but some opposition supporters tried to disrupt the vote following a call from two rival candidates of President Alassane Ouattara for a boycott over his bid for a third term.
The streets of the largest city Abidjan were largely quiet, in contrast to the violent run-up to the election. The vote is seen as a test of stability in the West African nation, one of the continent’s fastest-growing economies.
