World leaders have voiced their support for Ivory Coast opposition candidate Alassane Ouattara, saying he is the true winner of a presidential run-off.
Initial results giving Mr Ouattara victory were overturned by officials, who declared President Laurent Gbagbo winner. He is now due to be sworn in.
Prime Minister Guillaume Soro tendered his resignation, backing Mr Ouattara.
Mr Ouattara is also expected to be sworn in at a rival ceremony held in a compound guarded by UN peacekeepers.
The US, UN and France - the former colonial power - have urged Mr Gbagbo to accept defeat.
Sunday's presidential run-off was intended to reunify the world's largest cocoa producer after a civil war in 2002, but now could leave the nation with two rival presidents.
'Fraudulent' ballotOn Saturday, Mr Soro, a former rebel leader, offered Mr Ouattara the resignation of the government.
Mr Soro had earlier warned that overturning the results threatened to derail attempts to stabilise and reunify the country after the war.
On Thursday, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) declared that Mr Ouattara had won the 28 November run-off by 54.1% to 45.9%.
But after Mr Gbagbo and his supporters alleged the ballot had been fraudulent, the Constitutional Council overruled the Commission.
Chairman Paul Yao N'Dre said Mr Gbagbo had secured just over 51% of the vote.
Ivorian state media said Mr Gbagbo would be sworn in at a midday ceremony on Saturday.
