Judges at Cote d’Ivoire’s constitutional court have confirmed President Alassane Ouattara’s landslide victory in the first post-war election held eight days ago.
“It is fitting to proclaim him elected,” said the court’s top judge, Mamadou Kone, AFP news agency reports.
Ouattara was elected for a second term with 84% of the votes compared with the 9% of his main rival Pascal Affi N’Guessan.
Some opposition candidates pulled out of the election, alleging widespread irregularities.
His predecessor, Laurent Gbagbo, is awaiting trail at the International Criminal Court on charges of fuelling the conflict.
He denies the charges.
