Electoral list accepted

    ABIDJAN

    The controversial voters' list that threatened to derail the elections has now been accepted by the vast majority of opposition parties after an independent committee audited the document and declared it valid, a member of the Observatoire national des elections (ONEL), told IRIN on Monday.

    The committee was comprised of members of ONEL, civil society, the Interior Ministry, and the Front pour la regularite et la transparence des elections (FRTE). The body was called to audit the list after opposition parties accused the government of altering the document from which it printed voters' cards in Israel.
