Deadline for presidential candidates extended

    ABIDJAN

    Cote d’Ivoire’s electoral commission announced on Friday that following the postponement of presidential elections from 17 September to 22 October, candidates have been given extra time to register for the polls. They can now do so between 11 and 22 September, according to the Comission nationale electorale. Nineteen persons submitted their candidature by the original deadline, which elapsed two weeks ago but one, the only woman among them, has since withdrawn.
