Ivory Coast president seeks parliament majority in election

ABIDJAN: Ivory Coast is holding legislative elections on Saturday, two months after 83-year-old Alassane Tuatara won a presidential ballot that extended his 14-year rule. Polling stations in the main city, Abidjan, opened an hour late in torrential rain. At Notre Dame college in the Plateau district, voters queued in a hall below a huge portrait of Felix Houphouet-Boigny, the West African nation’s founding president. “I don’t feel represented in the national assembly,” said 21-year-old Assi Gilles Darus Aka.
