Voting ended Saturday in Ivory Coast for a new president, with incumbent Alassane Ouattara expected to win a fourth term against a divided opposition further hobbled by the barring of two leading candidates.

One senior opposition figure has already dismissed the vote as "electoral robbery" and turnout was low in parts of the country's south and west, where the opposition is popular.

"I didn't vote," said 26-year-old student Olivier in the working-class Blockhaus district of Abidjan. "My candidate was barred."

On Saturday, a 13-year-old boy was killed by a shot fired from a public transport vehicle in the centre-west town of Gregbeu, security sources told AFP. It was the fifth death this month during the election period.
