ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — The opposition leader said he would not respect a curfew imposed Saturday because it would open the door to electoral fraud the day before historic elections that could restore stability to the world’s biggest cocoa producer after a decade of unrest.

This West African country’s president, Laurent Gbagbo, issued a decree Saturday calling for a nationwide curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Saturday and today, and from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday to Wednesday, to prevent any tampering with vote counting.
