In Côte d’Ivoire, the presidential election campaign is unfolding under a tense atmosphere, with low voter enthusiasm and uneven political mobilization across the country.

The campaign, which began on October 10 and ends on October 23, has struggled to gain momentum amid reports of fear and uncertainty in several regions.

Observers say the slow pace reflects lingering political divisions and logistical hurdles as the nation heads toward a crucial vote later this month.
