Voters in Ivory Coast went to the polls on Saturday to choose a new leader, as longtime President Alassane Ouattara seeks a fourth term while his key candidates are barred from the race. The election is the latest example of aging men continuing to hold power in Africa, which boasts the world’s youngest population. Cameroon’s Paul Biya, 92, Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni, 81, and Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Mbasogo, 83, are some of the other older African leaders still in power.
