Yacine Idriss Diallo was eventually elected president, the federation said online, by beating Sory Diabaté by 63 votes to 61 in the second round.
Drogba, 44, captained the Ivory Coast in a glorious playing career which saw him twice named Africa's footballer of the year and hailed as a hero in his home country, for whom he is the record goalscorer.
Club honours include the 2012 Champions League with Chelsea in addition to four Premier League titles, four FA Cups and three League Cups.
