Ivory Coast election poll seen as trial run

  • 11 years ago
Polls are now closed in Ivory Coast where people have been voting to elect hundreds of mayors and local councillors.
It's the first major vote since thousands were killed in post-election violence in 2010.
Fighting broke out when former President Laurent Gbagbo, who lost the election refused to hand over power to the winner.
Yvonne Ndege sent this report from Abidjan.
