ABIDJAN, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara's ruling coalition won four fifths of seats in parliament, provisional election results showed on Friday, boosting his hand in governing the war-scarred West African state.
His RDR party took 127 of the National Assembly's 255 seats while his allied PDCI party took 77 seats, according to results from the Dec. 11 poll announced by election commission chief Youssouf Bakayoko.
Bakayoko said turnout was 36 percent, slightly higher than in Ivory Coast's last parliamentary poll in 2000, despite a boycott by the main opposition FPI party allied to former leader Laurent Gbagbo, now facing war crimes charges at The Hague.
