Voters Wear Their Support in Abidjan

Virginie and Elodie, above, were part of a group of campaign workers handing out T-shirts for incumbent Laurent Gbagbo in Deux Plateaux, an upper class neighborhood of Abidjan. They support Gbagbo because, they say, he loves the country.


This supporter of Alassane Ouattara, known as Ado, was returning from a rally for her candidate in Abobo, a densely-populated neighborhood of Abidjan.



She preferred not to give her name but gladly showed off her Ado totebag. She supported Ado because, she said, we need a change.
