With just over a year until the presidential election, political parties and civil society organizations are already forming alliances.

This includes the  Parti Démocratique de la Côte d’Ivoire (PDCI) led by Tidjane Thiam, the Parti des Peuples Africains Côte d’Ivoire  (PPACI) of Laurent Gbagbo, the Générations et Peuples Solidaires  (GPS) of Guillaume Soro, and  the Congrès Panafricain des Jeunes et des Patriotes (Cojep) of Charles Blé Goudé.
