Former Prime Minister Patrick Achi has been elected as the new President of Côte d’Ivoire’s National Assembly. His election took place in Abidjan following a parliamentary vote.
Mr Achi succeeds the previous leadership at a time of renewed political stability. He previously served as Prime Minister and held several senior government roles. Lawmakers described his election as a vote of confidence in his experience. The National Assembly plays a key role in shaping laws and national policy.
Observers say his leadership could strengthen cooperation between the executive and legislature. The development marks a significant moment in Côte d’Ivoire’s post-election governance.
