Gbagbo and the government that was...what's next for Cote d'Ivoire

After postponing elections six times; scheduled for, at the latest, November 29, 2009, President Gbagbo of Cote d'Ivoire announced February 12th on national television that he'd be dissolving his government. He also accused the electoral commission of "running an illegal operation. Citing that he "wants a government that serves the interests of the Ivorian people and not the orders of political parties," Gbagbo claimed that the electoral commission was adding over 400,000 people to the electoral roll. It was reported that many of the names Gbagbo belong to individuals who do not support the President. So is this the new rule? Postpone or dissolve the government so that you can get your way? Or is it something deeper than that
