ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — The top U.N. envoy in Ivory Coast told the Security Council on Tuesday that there was “only one winner” of the recent presidential election — and it’s not Laurent Gbagbo.

Speaking via video link from Abidjan, Choi Young-Jin urged the United Nations to take action against Gbagbo to safeguard the result of the vote, on the same day that a regional bloc of 15 countries in West Africa suspended Ivory Coast’s membership and warned Gbagbo to yield power immediately to his opponent, Alassane Ouattara.
