Abidjan, 14 Aug-(ANA)-Ivory Coast's political rivals say the much-delayed presidential elections in the country would hold in November as planned, state media said.
The country’s electoral commission says it is "determined to respect the date of November 29 as the first round of the presidential election."
Electoral commission head Robert Mambe Beugre has called on all Ivorians to support the elections.
General elections have always been put off since 2005, when current President Laurent Gbagbo's mandate was due to end.
Lack of disarmament of former rebels, partition of the country and lack of funds have blamed for the delay in the electoral process. (ANA)
