COTE D’IVOIRE: SPECTER OF IDENTITY POLITICS RETURNS AHEAD OF 2020 ELECTIONS
Mon, 19 August 2019
The key parties in Cote d’Ivoire are realigning ahead of the presidential vote in 2020, injecting some much-needed competition into the country’s political sphere that has been dominated for the past 8 years by President Ouattara. However, if the incumbent decides to run for a third term, he is likely to face a backlash of ethnic and identity politics from united opposition parties that would increase the risk of violence and commercial disruption, although a repeat of the 2010-11 civil war is unlikely.
