World leaders back Ouattara as Ivory Coast poll winner

---

World leaders have voiced their support for Ivory Coast opposition candidate Alassane Ouattara, saying he is the true winner of a presidential run-off, reports BBC.
The country's Constitutional Council has overturned results to declare President Laurent Gbagbo the winner - he is due to be sworn in shortly.
The US, UN, France and the West African bloc Ecowas have urged Mr Gbagbo to accept defeat.
The poll was intended to reunify the country after a civil war in 2002.
Prime Minister Guillaume Soro warned the overturning of the results threatened to derail attempts to stabilise and re-unify the country.
On Thursday, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) declared that Mr Ouattara had won the 28 November run-off by 54.1% to 45.9%.
But after Mr Gbagbo and his supporters alleged the ballot had been fraudulent, the Constitutional Council overruled the Commission.
Chairman Paul Yao N'Dre said Mr Gbagbo had secured just over 51% of the vote.
Ivorian state media said Mr Gbagbo would be sworn in at a midday ceremony on Saturday.
