Algeria, Sierra Leone, Guyana and South Korea were elected unchallenged on Tuesday to sit on the UN Security Council in 2024-25, while Slovenia handily beat Belarus for the only contested seat.
Nationwide protests have taken place since October 7 despite the disbanding of the controversial Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) police unit.
The demonstrators have been accused of attacking police stations and personnel.
The rallies which are mostly attended by young people have become avenues to vent against corruption and unemployment.
Rights groups say at least 15 people have been killed the demonstrations began in early October.
Guarded by a heavy police presence, Ivory Coast's electoral commission has started to announce the preliminary result of the presidential vote.
With 2 of the four candidates boycotting, incumbent President Allassane Ouattara is expected to win, especially in the north of the country.
The area is known for being a stronghold of the president.
According to the first results, President Ouattara obtained 98% of the votes in Korhogo the northern capital, with an 88% participation.
Ouattara's opponents keep claiming his bid for a third term was unconstitutional, and say the vote which, according to them, is an attempt at a \"coup d'etat\", was a failure.
Through FPI's leader Pascal Affi N'Guessan, opposition leaders called for a civil transition on Sunday, and once more stated they no longer recognized Alassane Ouattara as the Ivory Coast's president.
The RHDP ruling party has meanwhile \"warned\" the opposition \"against any attempt at destabilization\".

Algerian's are voting in a referendum on Sunday to revise the constitution after long-time President Bouteflika was forced to resign last year following mass protests.
The government hopes it will neutralise the Hirak protest movement and will bring in a \"new Algeria\".
But opponents say it will change much. The Hirak has rejected the document and called for a boycott.
\"Nothing has changed. The ultra-presidential regime will stay,\" said Massena’s Cherbi, a constitutional expert at Sciences Po university in Paris.
'Rendezvous with history'
The text will set presidential term limits and create a new anti-corruption body but it has been criticized.
\"The drafting and consultation process was highly controlled by the state,\" said Zaid al-Ali, an expert on constitutions in the Arab world. \"It's hard to argue that the Hirak's demands for a fully inclusive debate on the state's constitution was respected.\"
The vote comes on the anniversary of the start of Algeria's war of independence against France in 1954.
It also comes as Algeria's President Abdelmadjid Tebboune is hospitalised in Germany. His health condition has not been disclosed but there are reports of Covid-19 cases among his staff.
Tebboune, 74, said on Saturday that Algerians will once again \"have a rendezvous with history\" to bring in a \"new era capable of fulfilling the hopes of the nation and the aspirations of our people for a strong, modern and democratic state\".
Seen by opponents as an old-school regime insider, Tebboune came to power following a December 2019 presidential poll marred by record abstentionism.
The Hirak movement led calls for a boycott of that election, and even official data put the turnout at less than 40 percent.
Polling stations opened at 8:00 am (0700 GMT) and were set to close at 7:00 pm. Results are expected on Monday.
In the spring of 2020, nursing homes were in the news and under considerable scrutiny because so many had patients with COVID-19. Many went into lockdown to keep their residents and staff safe. Nursing homes had been under the microscope long before the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 that resulted in the respiratory illness COVID-19, hit this country. […]

NORTON MP Temba Mliswa (Independent) has blasted government for failing to take care of people with disabilities (PWDs) as stipulated in section 83 of the Constitution. BY STAFF REPORTER Section 83 of the Constitution states that “the State must take appropriate measures within the limits of the resources available to ensure that PWDs realise their full mental and physical potential…” Mliswa was contributing to debate recently in the National Assembly which was moved by Bikita South MP Josiah Sithole (Zanu PF) on all-inclusive development policies to cater for PWDs. He said the country’s national budget had failed to prioritise PWDs for them to be self-sufficient. “We know that some of them cannot even get to areas where government programmes are being carried out because of their disability. What measures have you put in place to make sure that they get there or to make sure that they get what belongs to them without it being a favour, but being an entitlement because of the condition that they are in?” Mliswa asked. “If anything, PWDs are actually neglected because most of us are able-bodied. We have never understood how one who is disabled functions. We are guilty as charged as MPs because when we are going to elections as politicians, we look for them because we want their votes.” The Norton MP said very few PWDs were in the corridors of power, adding that political parties were also failing to include PWDs in powerful positions. “It is critical that political parties are able to accommodate PWDs in the corridors of power. How many political parties have got disabled people in leadership? In this very same august House, how many disabled people are chairing Parliamentary committees or are in the influence of power?” Mliswa apologised to PWDs, saying that as MPs, they had been insensitive to their plight. He said during the COVID-19 pandemic, PWDs were neglected, but he lauded First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa for distributing hampers to students with disabilities. “There must be a law put in place to deal with any person that abuses a person who is disabled. It must not be less than 10 years imprisonment. The 10%-15% which we all know is what they constitute from a demographic point of view must be reflective in government, Parliament, parastatals and representation on boards,” Mliswa said.

By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer A vast swath of West Texas has been without an abortion clinic for more than six years. Planned Parenthood plans to change that with a health center it opened recently in Lubbock. It's a vivid example of how abortion-rights groups are striving to preserve nationwide access to the procedure even as a reconfigured Supreme Court — with the addition of conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett — may be open to new restrictions. Planned Parenthood has made recent moves to serve more women in Missouri and Kentucky, and other groups are preparing to help women […]
