Tensions are high in ivory coast as the country votes in president ial elections incumbent leader and a son what tara is running for a contested term which the opposition says is unconstitutional his rivals are boycotting the election and called for a campaign of civil disobedience at least 20 people have died in violence running up to the vote thousands were killed after president ial elections in 2010. Im joined now by funny fashion in abidjan in ivory coast funny weve seen the violence in the lead up to this vote whats the situation like there today. At this point everything is quite peaceful for ivorian standards but just yesterday in the capital there were violent clashes between Security Forces and what protesters now people here who are headed to the polls today to be part of his very controversial elections are really bracing for the worst they are bracing for violence but theyre still hoping for a peaceful outcome of this very controversial election controversial for various reasons one is president ouattara is running for a 3rd term even though he promised not to and then there are the main opposition parties who are boycotting the elections all together calling for civil disobedience and you see you say that weve mentioned that also an hour why is the opposition rejecting this election and calling for that disobedience they are saying that this is illegitimate this entire election that president ouattara doesnt have a right to run for because the election has been amended in 2016 that only permits 2 mandates now president ouattara is saying thats true there are only 2 mandates high over the election the constitution was changed in 20 it was amended in 2016 while he was in office and he says basically for him the clock has been reset just like in other parts of west africa in guinea or in togo we had elections this year that was a very similar story that the sitting president claims he does have the right to run for a 3rd time because the change in the constitution to mammon doesnt account for him so as a result the main opposition parties here except for an independent candidate that is running against president ouattara these main opposition parties are saying that this entire election here is a farce what they want is a different candidate from the r h d p party the governing party a candidate that didnt have 2 terms so far now we know that there was a lot of violence killed killing thousands of people after the 2010 election and there are fears of a possible return of that violence and how likely do you think that is. Definitely those memories are very very stark memories 2002 to 2010 when the ivorians here really received a very very brutal taste a brutal experience of what polls election violence can mean nobody really knows how the violence that into the run up to these elections have already played out on the roads nobody knows how that is going to food to ask later today i also believe that a lot will depend on how president ouattara is able to quell these protests by the way and how hes going to address the nation once the election is over and once the polling stations how close tonight when are we likely to see a result. That is a good question the polling stations are going to close this evening but some people say this could take up to several days even until there is a result however on the political level it may also just be that present whats the clearest himself the winner of this election to simply get it over with get it done and make sure that people are going back to work and that the protests are being quelled but thats exactly the question how the opposition parties going to react in that situation and president ouattara is going to declare himself the winner and while its really unclear clear whether those results that are coming in by the independent commission are really the independent official numbers all right fani thanks very much fashion in abidjan.
