A significant institutional shift has occurred in Côte d’Ivoire with the official dissolution of the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI). This body, responsible for organizing and overseeing the nation’s elections for a quarter-century, no longer exists. Its tenure was frequently marked by controversy and faced consistent challenges from opposition factions.
The pivotal question now facing the country revolves around the successor structure. What form will this new electoral framework take, and how effectively will it be able to ensure truly peaceful and undisputed elections moving forward? The Ivorian political landscape eagerly anticipates the emergence of a new institution capable of fostering greater consensus and electoral tranquility.
