Description
Summary:As general elections were organised just eight months after the end of the violent post-election crisis that almost led to a civil war in the country, Ivory Coast risked reviving hostilities. Apparently voters got tired of unrest and violence and this new election did not fascinate the people of the Ivory Coast, especially since the previous head of state's party chose not to take part in the vote. At the end there was a low turnout at the polls (36.5%).Since they already won the presidential election, Alassane Ouattara's party, the RDR (138), Konan Bédié's party, the PDCI (86), and their allies can now reckon with 232 out of 255 members of the Parliament. The President should not be worried in the next few years, unless this overwhelming majority should turn into a one-party system.
