The Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) of Côte d’Ivoire, a body frequently at the heart of political tensions and a recurring point of disagreement between the executive branch and opposition parties, has officially been dissolved. This significant announcement was made on May 6 by government spokesperson Amadou Coulibaly. He stated that this action would usher in “a new era,” clarifying that the primary objective is to “consistently ensure the organization of peaceful elections” throughout the nation.
