Calls on Ivory Coast’s election commission to release results from this week’s presidential runoff mounted, a day after a member of the body halted an announcement of the partial count.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon “urges the Independent Electoral Commission to announce the provisional results of the second round of the presidential election without delay, today,” according to a statement published on the UN’s website. The European Union’s foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton called for the release of the results “by this evening in accordance with the agreed schedule,” in an e-mailed statement.
