I.Coast president Ouattara reelected after contested vote: official

ABIDJAN (AFP) - Ivory Coast president Alassane Ouattara has been reelected with more than 94 percent of the vote, electoral authorities said Tuesday, after a poll marred by clashes and an opposition boycott over his bid for a contested third term.

"President Alassane Ouattara has been elected," election commission president Ibrahime Coulibaly-Kuibiert said in an early morning broadcast, adding voter turnout had been 53.9 percent.
