Tidjane Thiam sur la présidentielle ivoirienne : « Le taux d’abstention est le verdict du peuple »
In Ivory Coast, President Alassane Ouattara is well on his way to extending his tenure at the helm of the country. According to provisional results published by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), the veteran leader came in first in the presidential election held on October 25, with 89.77% of the votes cast. He is well ahead of Jean Louis Billon, who is credited with some 3% of the vote. The turnout rate is 50.10%, according to the Electoral Commission.
"A silent but powerful rejection of an electoral exercise with little credibility"
These figures are not validated by PDCI-RDA President Tidjane Thiam. In an address to the Ivorian nation yesterday, Monday, the Ivorian politician maintained that Saturday's election was marked by "low turnout."
"For our part, we have always believed that an inclusive election was the best guarantee of the country's stability and that seemingly reassuring continuity could lead to instability, because the Ivorian people's thirst for change was real. Recent events unfortunately seem to prove us right. The abstention rate that some are trying to manipulate today is in reality the verdict of the people. A silent but powerful rejection of an electoral exercise that lacked credibility, in which the vast majority of Ivorians refused to participate the day before yesterday," declared the leader of the PDCI-RDA.
He is convinced that what happened on Saturday was not an "election in the democratic sense of the term."

Pour l'intérêt de la Côte d'Ivoire, pacifiez l'espace politique et remettez vous au travail en attendant les prochaines élections.
Vive la Côte d'Ivoire, Vive le Sénégal, Vive la CEDEAO.
Un grand couillon opportuniste ce Thiam !
