ABIDJAN, April 6 (Reuters) - Forces loyal to Ivory Coast presidential claimant Alassane Ouattara on Wednesday stormed the residence of incumbent leader Laurent Gbagbo who has refused to cede power, a spokeswoman for Ouattara forces told Reuters.
"Yes they (Ouattara forces) are in the process of entering the residence to seize Gbagbo, they have not taken him yet, but they are in the process, they are in the building," Affousy Bamba told Reuters.
Gbagbo has defied calls to give up the presidency after election results in November - verified by the UN - showed rival Alessane Ouattara won.
"I won the election and I'm not negotiating my departure," he told French TV station LCI from a bunker at the presidential palace in the commerical capital Abidjan.
