ABIDJAN (Reuters) - Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara won a third term with 94.27% of the vote, final results showed on Monday, after an election that opposition parties largely boycotted and dismissed as illegal. Main opposition figures are facing criminal charges after denouncing the Oct. 31 vote and creating a rival government in protest. Ouattara signalled on Monday evening that he was open to dialogue with the opposition to enable calm to return to the world’s top cocoa growing nation following violent protests before and after the election.
