Best Answer

Laurent Koudou Gbagbo was the President of the Ivory Coast in 2003.

During the 2000 election following the 1999 coup, he and Robert Guéï, the former military leader and temporary head of the country, were candidates. The results of the election were contested, but a popular uprising in support of Gbagbo forced Guéï to withdraw. Gbagbo became president in 2000 October 26 and was expected to end his term in 2005. However, a civil war broke out, and his presidency was extended first to 2006, then to 2007. After the end of the civil war in 2007, elections were planned in 2008, but as Gbagbo was the only candidate, the elections were again postponed.

Elections were held on 2010 October 31, with a run-off on November 28. The results were disputed with both Gbagbo and Alassane Dramane Ouattara declaring victory, leading to the 2011 Ivorian crisis. Eventually Gbagbo was arrested on 2011 April 11, definitively ending his presidency.
