Ivory Coast opposition leaders on Sunday called for a "civil transition" from President Alassane Ouattara's government, a day after an election they boycotted in protest over his contested bid for a third term. "Opposition parties and political groups call for the start of a civil transition," opposition leader Pascal Affi N'Guessan told reporters, saying they considered Ouattara's mandate over after Saturday's ballot. Tensions erupted in August when Ouattara said a reform allowed him to reset a two-term presidential limit to run again, angering the opposition who called it an "electoral coup". de-psf/pma/har
