Ivorian Council Confirms Thiam, Gbagbo Exclusion From Election
The Ivorian Council has confirmed the exclusion of prominent opposition figures, Gbagbo and Thiam, from the upcoming presidential election. President Alassane Ouattara, who is seeking re-election, will now face four candidates in the race. The decision to disqualify Gbagbo and Thiam has been seen by some as a blow to the opposition and a potential threat to the democratic process. However, the Council has stated that the decision was made based on legal grounds, citing issues with the candidates' eligibility. The election is scheduled for next month, and Ouattara is widely expected to emerge victorious, given the exclusion of his main rivals. The situation has raised concerns about the fairness and inclusiveness of the electoral process in Ivory Coast.
