Opposition leaders have joined thousands of opposition supporters to protest President Alassane Ouattara's plan to seek a third term in the Oct. 31 presidential election. People held banners that said "The people say no to an illegal third term" and "Stop to a third term".

Ouattara has been in power for almost a decade and has announced he'd run for a third term after his chosen successor's sudden death.
