Côte d’Ivoire’s presidential election ended peacefully on Saturday, with no major incidents reported. Voter turnout was generally calm, though participation was lower in some areas.
Early results show President Alassane Ouattara leading by a wide margin, putting him on track for a fourth term. Election observers noted that polling stations opened on time and voting materials arrived without delays. Security was tight across the country, with thousands of officers deployed to prevent unrest. Some opposition supporters had earlier called for a boycott after their candidates were barred from running.
The electoral commission says official results will be announced soon after verification. Many Ivorians hope the calm voting process will help maintain peace and stability after weeks of political tension.
