Abstract: The political accord between the government and major opposition parties in August 2006 was welcomed internationally as a major breakthrough, in view of the aftermath of rigged presidential elections and subsequent political turmoil in 2005. The formation of a transitional government of national unity under Yawovi Agboyibo, renowned opposition leader, gave rise to optimistic forecasts concerning the preparations for early free and fair parliamentary elections in June 2007, which would be the first after decades of autocratic rule.
