Credit: Reuters/Luc Gnago By Tim Cocks and Loucoumane Coulibaly ABIDJAN | Fri Dec 3, 2010 11:13pm EST ABIDJAN (Reuters) - Ivory Coast's incumbent Laurent Gbagbo is due to be sworn in as president on Saturday after his victory was rejected by world leaders but accepted by the army, raising fears of a potentially violent power struggle. The top cocoa grower's election commission said opposition leader Alassane Ouattara had won a November 28 poll with 54.1 percent but the highest legal authority, citing alleged intimidation and vote-rigging, scrapped hundreds of thousands of votes on Friday to hand the victory to Gbagbo. World leaders, including U.S. President Barack Obama, the head of the United Nations and West African regional body ECOWAS all rejected Gbagbo's win and said Ouattara was the winner of a poll meant to heal wounds after a decade of division. Ouattara's party has warned denying him victory would risk throwing the country back into conflict and won the backing of former rebels still controlling the north. But Gbagbo's camp has rejected outside pressure, threatening to throw the U.N.'s top envoy out of the country and, according to state television, he will be sworn in at 1200 GMT. Amid heightened tensions and reports from residents of gunfire as night fell in some neighborhoods of Abidjan, the head of Ivory Coast's armed forces pledged allegiance to Gbagbo. "We came to greet the president of the republic, to give him our respect, reiterate our readiness and allegiance and tell him that we are ready to carry out any mission that he wants to give us," General Philippe Mangou said on state television after being shown visiting Gbagbo with other senior officers. The hotly contested run-off was due to cap the protracted process of reunifying a country that was once West Africa's brightest economic prospect but has been split in two since rebels seized the north after a failed coup attempt in 2002. After a relatively peaceful first round, the lead-up to the run-off reignited divisions, with Ouattara winning most of the north but Gbagbo saying provisional results were marred by rebel-led intimidation of his supporters in the north. The rebels deny the charge and Ouattara says the international backing shows he is the rightful president. At least 15 people have been killed in election-related violence in the last 10 days but there are fears of more street protests in Abidjan while rebel forces in the north said they were on high alert should government forces attack them. "I don't know what to think any more," a resident in Adjame told Reuters by telephone from the Abidjan neighborhood. "We just don't know who is president. The U.N. said it was Ouattara. (State television) said it is Gbagbo. We don't know where this will end," the resident said, asking not to be named. TEST OF RESOLVE Donors, led by the U.N., which was charged by a 2007 peace deal with certifying election results, have spent as much as $400 million on the election process. 1 2 Next World United Nations We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.

African Union and ECOWAS should signal to Gbabo that gone are the days of vote rigging and use of military force to stay in power. The military that claims to be abiding by the constitution had failed the Ivorian people when they allowed Gbabo’s partisans an supporters to physically stop the announcement of the results.
