Mr. Alassane Ouattara has won the presidential election with 89.77% of the vote, according to provisional results. The election was marked by controversy, with opposition leaders Laurent Gbagbo and Tidjane Thiam being barred from running.
The international community has been cautious in their response, with some countries maintaining their support for Ouattara due to his economic policies and stability in the region. However, critics argue that this silence undermines democratic values.
Before the election, Ouattara’s government implemented constitutional changes and security measures that some saw as attempts to consolidate power. The opposition has expressed frustration and disillusionment with the outcome, and there are concerns about potential violence.Ouattara has previously served as Prime Minister and President, and his re-election has sparked mixed reactions from the public. The outcome of the election is likely to shape the country’s future trajectory.
