Vladislav Ardzinba, the incumbent president of Abkhazia, will remain in office until the next president is elected in a repeat poll, and will ignore next month\'s inauguration of the announced winner of the disputed October 3 election, the presidential office said on Wednesday. The planned inauguration ceremony on December 6 is unconstitutional and will have no legal foundation, Ardzinba\'s spokesman Roin Agrba said in a statement. Abkhazia has been the scene of major public unrest since the October 3 presidential election, whose results sparked bitter disputes among supporters of the two main candidates.
