While there were scattered reports of unrest, voting went forward in the commercial capital of Abidjan despite opposition threats to block polling stations from opening. Ouattara cast his ballot in the city's Cocody neighborhood, where called on Ivorians to halt acts of violence aimed at disrupting the vote.
“I appeal to those who launched this slogan of civil disobedience that led to the death of a man," he said, giving no details. "Let them stop, let them stop because Ivory Coast needs peace.” While election observers outnumbered voters at some polling stations, crowds gathered early in the Abobo neighborhood, a Ouattara stronghold.
“All Ivorians who want peace should vote today,” said Mamery Doumbia, standing outside the Abobo Sagbe voting center. “My greatest wish is that the country finds peace again following the election because I am afraid for what will happen after the vote.”
More than 20 people have died amid clashes ahead of the vote in the West African nation, prompting the United Nations and human rights groups to call for calm. The election is taking place a decade after a post-electoral crisis left more than 3,000 people dead.
“Ivory Coast’s recent history underscores the need for the authorities to do their utmost to ensure that the presidential elections do not presage a return to widespread intercommunal and political violence," said Ida Sawyer, deputy Africa director at Human Rights Watch.
The 2010 presidential election brought months of violence after then-President Laurent Gbagbo refused to concede defeat to Ouattara. Ouattara ultimately prevailed, and Gbagbo was later acquitted of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court, but many fear that anger over the president’s bid for a third term could reignite old rivalries.
The top two opposition candidates, Pascal Affi N’Guessan and Henri Konan Bedie, have pulled out of the race in a boycott. They remain on the ballot but have urged their supporters to stay home or carry out acts of peaceful civil disobedience.
About 30 kilometers (19 miles) from N'Guessan hometown, officials said voting materials had been destroyed in the town of M'Batto. Ouattara faces just one other candidate, Konan Bertin Kouadio, who broke away from his longtime party earlier this year to run as an independent when it chose Bedie instead as its standard bearer. Kouadio received less than 4% of the vote in the 2015 election.
The president, who has broad international support and was re-elected five years ago with nearly 84% of the vote, initially said he would not seek a third term. He backtracked, though, after his chosen successor died from a heart problem in July.
Ouattara’s opponents tried unsuccessfully to have his candidacy thrown out, citing constitutional term limits. The president maintains the two-term limit does not apply to him because a new constitution was approved in a 2016 referendum.
Critics say Ouattara has essentially shaped the race to his favor, stacking the electoral bodies with his supporters to ensure any legal appeals fail. Forty of the 44 people who applied to run had their candidacy rejected, including two prominent politicians in exile.

Ivorian Solution: Either to split it into two regions or to adopt Swiss political Rotational Model not unnecessary.
The Ivorian Northern bordering Countries where the most immigrants came from, they have cultural,Religious heritage and root affiliation with the Ivorian Immigrants,but this requires the World, Either to split it into two regions or to adopt Swiss political Rotational Model.
Since, southern Ivorian is afraid of Immigrant’s population and their strong ties with France, and allowing immigrants who have become Ivorian Citizens, will be to the detriment of the Ivorian natives and due to long inherited conflicts, disputes and crises coupled with cultural/Religious differences.
Neither the Ivorian current President Laurent Gbagbo nor Alassane Ouattara Could be able to lead Ivory Coast peacefully and legitimately now. The real Solution is for both candidates to step down from the Ivorian political scene and let President Laurent Gbagbo hand over power to most the Senior Chief of Ivorian Army who can convene then within 6 months to form a Ivorian Transactional Government that could run Ivory Coast for two years and to conduct a new election excluding both Laurent Gbagbo and Alassane Ouattara.
Any other process, whether leaving Laurent Gbagbo to continue Governing the country will lead to various problems with strong bloody confrontations by Ivorian of immigrant descendants, with strong French challenge Gbagbo to concede power Ouattara, based on unverifiable Votes counted in favor of Alassane Ouattara, will lead Ivory Coast to various bloody confrontations by Ivorian Natives, who will be supported by their ethnic Natives from the neighboring Countries in the southern Ivorian Borders.

Subject:Sanction/Cut of Diplomatic Ties can’t work in an ethnic/regional fractured Ivory Coast.
For AU Bureau of the Chairperson
Sanction/Cut of Diplomatic Ties can’t work in an ethnic/regional fractured Ivory Coast.
Technically, Sanction or Cut of Bilateral/Diplomatic Ties can’t work in an Ethnic/Regional fractured Ivory Coast or force Regional Self installed current President Laurent Gbagbo to hand over power to another Regional Self acclaimed Winner Alassane Ouattara as the real issue is not election matter but the Political Power contest between President Laurent Gbagbo led Native Ivorian and Alassane Ouattara led Immigrants or Ivorian with foreign roots whose identifications are assumed not to be Ivorian, but supported by France who used its international Media and networks/connection to back Alassane Ouattara,
after France had some collaborative misunderstandings with the Former Ivorian President Félix Houphouët-Boigny on how he did handle the looted wealth of former President of Zaire Mobutu Sese Seko, kept in his custody in Vatican Bank, which Félix Houphouët-Boigny utilized in developing his hometown of Yamoussoukro, where he built the world's largest church, named the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro,at a cost of US$300 million, leaving an account balance of only US$5million at time of his death, this, irritated France and created this behind scene political animosity between Ivorian native and French.
Since, Cote d’Ivoire like any other African Countries which have been colonized, inherited an imbalanced Political & Economic Structures/National Frameworks with foul or colonial manipulative Constitution with non Operative Governmental infrastructures from past Colonization, are grappling with the reality and inability to run their States Politically and Economically, as Colonial Boo Boo Traps with Colonial raise self serving bankrupt Elite, with sometime traditional recruited Scouts acting as State Military took Power in pretext of removing Corrupt Civil Regime, only to install their ethnic Agenda and ruined the State, as their Military Rule is run through non institutional principles and ethnic bias.
Until a Proper National Ethnic Conference under aegis of UN as to formulate the best co-existing Constitutions and to work out general ethnic agreement on its framework on how vast African minerals and agricultural products with its abundant manpower could be harnessed and distributed for equitable development and Peace. African Election shall be used as point of ethnic challenge, source of pouring out bottled Anger/mistrusted Aggravation or Political Ethnic Contest for State Power Control as any ethnic Group that has Political Power’s advantage, always use it for its ethnic Political Power’s advantage.
Since the death of late President of Cote d'Ivoire, Felix Houphouet-Boigny that brought Mr. Alassane Ouattara a technocrat, trained as an economist and having worked for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) to assist Ivory Coast in financial development and later become the Ivorian Prime Minister but late Felix Houphouet-Boigny was aging with ill health, changed a section of the Ivorian Constitution which allowed Mr. Henri Konan Bédié, then the President of the National Assembly to succeed late Felix Houphouet-Boigny as Ivorian President,
but France with Mr. Alassane Ouattara and his political Associates should know that it is technical difficult for Mr. Alassane Ouattara with its French imposed pressure/connection for non Ivorian Native to assume Political Power despite the international Rallies/Support, as what is paramount in Ivory Coast is that long time/short time Immigrants with almost two third Ivorian Population to assume Power, will restructure Ivory Coast to the detriment of Ivorian minority Natives whom the aggrieved swollen neighboring Countries’ Citizens who felt that we were part and parcels of Ivory Coast development and culture but needed sometime before their full integration.
The intellectual confusion over the world is why French is bent on Son of an immigrant taking political power in Ivory Coast as native Ivorian want immigrants to enjoy all rights except the highest Political Office-the President, since the country is native originated and not a settling/emigrating Country. There is academic perception that French was hurt when late Felix Houphouet-Boigny utilized the looted Mobutu Se Seko Zaire stolen Wealth in secretly developing Ivory Coast but what of King Hassan of Morocco who could not account Mobutu looted wealth, which led his untimely death, with late Mobutu briefly stay in Morocco as to recover his wealth back to France before his death.
Ironically, there is sources which factually revealed that the Incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo won the Ivorian election on basis of all countered votes of Ivorian Votes with verifiable National ID, while Alassane Ouattara won its election on strength of all votes cast by all Voters with unverifiable National ID and that is why most African Countries could not be able to have credible National ID which is pancreas for peaceful credible election and to safeguard its Citizen from violent crime and to promote development with better welfare for its citizens.
Also, all developed with some better developing nations have credible verifiable national ID cards in place as it augur easy & peaceful Elections and ease better developmental benefits for all its citizens but why it is allowed in Africa and this, have caused Africa a lot destruction and lost, when UN with West can insist that World/IMF can only recognize or do official business with any African Country that have credible National Identity Cards in operation, but they are silent on this and this wicked collaboration that ruin Africa and create huge emigration problem for West and other developed Nations. Africans are waiting for the world to assist them in projects that create peace and development.
