Ivorian soldiers drive into the barricaded street where the Independent Electoral Commission headquarters is located in the Deux Plateau neighborhood of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2010. Ivory Coast's president said Tuesday he plans to contest some results of a presidential poll already marred by opposition accusations of violence and voter fraud. Full results of Sunday's runoff poll have not been released, but a spokesman for President Laurent Gbagbo's campaign said he plans to contest votes in three regions of the country's rebel-held north. In those areas, he said, supporters of Gbagbo's opponent tried to steal ballot boxes and take Gbagbo supporters hostage.
