Présidentielle en Côte d’Ivoire : Tidjane Thiam réagit au rejet définitif de sa candidature
In Côte d'Ivoire, the Constitutional Council has invalidated Tidjane Thiam's candidacy for the presidential election next October. This decision, taken yesterday, Monday, September 8, comes as no real surprise, since the president of the PDCI-RDA had been removed from the electoral roll. He was therefore not eligible to vote.
From another perspective, the fact that he failed is clearly not a credit to democracy and the spirit of competition. Tidjane Thiam appeared to be a serious opponent to outgoing President Alassane Ouattara.
"The choice of candidates for the October 2025 election was a decisive test for..."
In a post published on his X account, the leader of the PDCI-RDA regretted the Constitutional Council's decision. For him, the institution has just failed a "decisive test."
"The choice of candidates for the October 2025 election was a litmus test for the Constitutional Council and democracy in our country. Ivorians hoped that the Constitutional Council would uphold their fundamental right to choose their president through the ballot box. Instead, they find themselves facing a veritable plebiscite organized by the incumbent president for an unconstitutional fourth term," wrote Mr. Thiam.
He also accused President Ouattara of leading the country into a dead end by attacking freedoms and using the state apparatus to repress the opposition.
"Ivorians deserve fair and inclusive elections. The constant attacks on democracy and the denial of the law must end so that peace can finally reign in our country," he continued.
Continue “the fight until justice is achieved”
The president of the PDCI-RDA ultimately promised to continue the "fight until justice is achieved."
It should be noted that, apart from Tidjane Thiam, other leading opposition figures such as former President Laurent Gbagbo and Pascal Affi N'Guessan of the FPI were also rejected.
