In Côte d’Ivoire, the Coalition for Peaceful Change (CAPCI) has announced plans to hold a major meeting with religious and traditional leaders at the end of May. The move comes amid growing political tension ahead of the October 2025 presidential election.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, CAPCI leaders emphasized the need for dialogue and reconciliation to prevent unrest. They called on the Ivorian government to ensure a peaceful environment before, during, and after the election period.

The coalition’s upcoming rally aims to rally national support for peace and political tolerance across party lines.
