Ivory Coast Sees Low Turnout in Parliamentary Elections

Ivory Coast Sees Low Turnout in Parliamentary Elections

In Ivory Coast, people voted for their national leaders in a big election.

But not many people went to vote because some political groups said they wouldn't take part.

The president, Alassane Ouattara, won another term recently, but many people who disagreed with him didn't vote this time.

There were a few small fights, but the police kept things calm.

Some people still went to vote because they believe it's important to have their say.

The main city, Abidjan, had very few voters in some places.

The government says the election went well, but not as many people voted as before.
