Ivory Coast voted Saturday in its first senatorial elections, boycotted by the opposition who have accused the electoral commission of bias.
The commission is due to announce the results by the end of Sunday.
However, the ruling Houphouetist Rally for Democracy and Peace (RHDP) coalition are expected to win a comfortable majority of seats in the face of independent candidates.
The opposition had called for a reform of the commission and for all votes - including future municipal and presidential elections - to be postponed.
