Supporters of Ivory Coast opposition leader Alassane Ouattara react as news spread that President Laurent Gbagbo won the election in the city of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Friday. The outcome of Ivory Coast’s first presidential election in a decade was plunged into doubt Friday as the constitutional council declared incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo the winner a day after the election chief handed victory to the opposition. The new results released by a Gbagbo loyalist on national television directly contradicted those announced Thursday, which were considered credible by the United States, the African Union and the United Nations.
