IVORY COAST ELECTION: President Ouattara wins a 2nd term

The president of Ivory Coast, Alassane Ouattara has won a 2nd term of 5 years by 84% of the votes cast. His nearest contender, Pascal Affi  having just 9%.
Although many candidates withdrew from the race saying it was not free and fair, the US election observers said the election was credible.
It could be recalled that Ouattara won election in 2010 but the incumbent, Laurent Gbagbo refused to concede defeat which led to the Killing of over 3000 people. Well, Gbagbo was eventually defeated with the support of France and the UN, by pro-Ouattara forces and is awaiting trial by the ICC.
President Buhari of Nigeria congratulates Ouattara on his landslide victory at the polls and looks forward to working with him to foster and strengthen bilateral cooperation between Nigeria and Ivory Coast.
