Côte d’Ivoire’s ruling RHDP and the opposition coalition CAP-CI have resumed political dialogue today, July 16, 2025. The talks began with a meeting held at the MGC headquarters in Abidjan.
Opposition leader Simone Ehivet is heading the CAP-CI delegation, while Ibrahim Cissé Bacongo represents the government. This initiative follows persistent demands from the opposition, who argue they’ve been sidelined from the October 25 presidential race. The renewed dialogue seeks to ease political tensions and promote inclusivity. Both parties are expected to discuss key electoral concerns. The move is seen as crucial ahead of the upcoming vote. Further meetings are anticipated to continue the talks.
