ABIDJAN, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- Cote d'Ivoire's opposition declared on Saturday they no longer recognized Laurent Gbagbo as the country's president, after Gbagbo dissolved the government and election commission on Friday, agencies reported.

Cote d'Ivoire's electoral process is going through turmoil due to the political-judicial battle over voter registration contentions linked to the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI).

The suspected fraud on the voter list has caused commotion within the body charged with the duty to organize elections to end years of instability in the West African country.

Cote d'Ivoire's government Thursday decided to suspend "to a later date" the judicial process over the voter list dispute, which many fear would jeopardize the planned presidential elections set for late February and early March.
