Election budget announced

    ABIDJAN

    The draft budget for polls to be held in Cote d'Ivoire between July and November has been set at just under 10 billion CFA francs (about US $145 million), the government announced following a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

    According to a report published in Friday's edition of the state-owned 'Fraternite Matin' daily, about 4.28 billion CFA francs would be spent on a referendum on a new constitution. The remainder is to be used for presidential, legislative and municipal polls between September and November.
