%X En organisant des ¨¦lections l¨¦gislatives ¨¤ peine huit mois apr¨¨s la fin de la violente crise post-¨¦lectorale qui a failli la faire basculer dans la guerre civile, la C te d¡¯Ivoire a pris le risque de raviver les animosit¨¦s. Il semble que les ¨¦lecteurs, lass¨¦s des troubles et des violences, ne se sont pas passionn¨¦s pour ce nouveau scrutin, a fortiori priv¨¦ de la participation du parti de l¡¯ancien chef de l¡¯¨¦tat, qui a choisi le boycott. La participation a donc ¨¦t¨¦ faible (36,5 %).D¨¦j¨¤ vainqueurs de l¡¯¨¦lection pr¨¦sidentielle, le RDR d¡¯Alassane Ouattara (138), le PDCI de Konan B¨¦di¨¦ (86) et leurs alli¨¦s comptent d¨¦sormais 232 d¨¦put¨¦s sur 255. Le pr¨¦sident ne devrait pas nourrir d¡¯inqui¨¦tude pour les ann¨¦es ¨¤ venir, sauf si cette ¨¦crasante majorit¨¦ devait tourner au parti unique. As general elections were organised just eight months after the end of the violent post-election crisis that almost led to a civil war in the country, Ivory Coast risked reviving hostilities. Apparently voters got tired of unrest and violence and this new election did not fascinate the people of the Ivory Coast, especially since the previous head of state's party chose not to take part in the vote. At the end there was a low turnout at the polls (36.5%).Since they already won the presidential election, Alassane Ouattara's party, the RDR (138), Konan B¨¦di¨¦'s party, the PDCI (86), and their allies can now reckon with 232 out of 255 members of the Parliament. The President should not be worried in the next few years, unless this overwhelming majority should turn into a one-party system.
