In Côte d’Ivoire, the opposition PPA-CI party has announced the filing of protest motions at prefectures nationwide in response to the rejection of former president Laurent Gbagbo’s presidential candidacy.
The move marks the first phase of the party’s campaign against the decision, which has stirred sharp political tensions. Leaders of the PPA-CI say the motions are a formal way to contest what they describe as an unfair and politically motivated exclusion.
Observers suggest that this step could pave the way for broader mobilizations in the coming weeks, potentially leading to demonstrations across the country as the dispute over Gbagbo’s candidacy intensifies.
