Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo ordered all U.N. peacekeeping forces out of the country Saturday in a statement read on state television.
Gbagbo is coming under increasing international pressure to give up power after a disputed presidential runoff on November 28.
Ivory Coast's Independent Electoral Commission said Alassan Ouattara won the runoff, but the country's Constitutional Council invalidated those results and declared Gbagbo the winner.
The United Nations, the Economic Community of West African States, the European Union and the African Union said Ouattara won.
