schema:articleBody	Leading opposition figures called Thursday for their supporters to boycott Ivory Coast's electoral process after President Alassane Ouattara shook the country by declaring that he would run for a third term. The president's U-turn, having said he would step aside, sparked a violent response on the streets stirring memories of a brief civil war that erupted after then-president Laurent Gbagbo refused to cede to Ouattara after elections in 2010. Here is a timeline of this key period in the runup to the October 31 poll: On March 5, 2020, Ouattara, 78, announces he will not run for a third term in order to make way for "the younger generation". It ends months of speculation over whether he would seek another mandate. In mid-March, Prime Minister Amadou Gon Coulibaly is nominated as the ruling RHDP party's candidate. On July 8, Coulibaly dies unexpectedly from a heart attack, plunging the country into uncertainty. On August 6, Ouattara finally announces he will seek re-election in October. The opposition slam the decision, saying it is against the constitution, which allows two terms, but Ouattara and his supporters argue that a 2016 constitutional tweak reset the clock. Ouattara's announcement triggers protests that turn violent, leaving around 15 people dead. On August 22, Ouattara is formally chosen by his party to run for a third term. On September 3, Gbagbo as well as former rebel leader turned prime minister Guillaume Soro also file their candidacies. The ex-president Henri Konan Bedie, 86, is officially nominated as candidate for his party on September 12. On September 14, the country's top court authorises only four candidacies out of 44 applications it received. It validates Ouattara's bid but bars Gbagbo and Soro. Former prime minister Pascal Affi N'Guessan and president Henri Konan Bedie -- two leading opposition candidates -- call for an "active boycott" of the electoral process running up to the poll, which they brand "illegal". ang-eab/fg/erc
