Former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo has vowed that he will not endorse any candidate in the forthcoming presidential election.

Despite being declared ineligible to run in the upcoming election, Gbagbo has announced that he will not support any of the candidates approved by the Constitutional Council.

His party spokesperson, Me Habiba Touré on Friday, stated that a lack of consensus and legitimacy among the candidates prevented any endorsement.

Touré emphasized that the candidates put forward by the Constitutional Council do not represent the larger political parties in the country.
