Ivory Coast Presidential Election: Ouattara Eyes Gbagbo's Electorate

Présidentielle en Côte d’Ivoire : Quand Ouattara lorgne l’électorat de Gbagbo

While presiding over the inauguration ceremony for members of his campaign leadership on Thursday, October 2, Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara announced that he would launch his campaign next Saturday in Daloa. This central-western town, like Soubré and Gagnoa, is located in Bete country. It is particularly unfavorable to Alassane Ouattara.

The Bété country is generally considered the electoral stronghold of Laurent Gbagbo (originally from Gagnoa).

 

By deciding to launch his campaign in Daloa, it is clear that the presidential candidate is eyeing the electorate of his predecessor, already excluded from the presidential race.

Indeed, the Constitutional Council has decided to reject Laurent Gbagbo's candidacy on the grounds that he was not registered on the electoral roll. His historic stronghold will therefore be the object of much covetousness during the election campaign.

    Le rhdp a toujours gagner dans ces localites dites bete. oui c'est la region natale de gbagbo. mais beaucoup de ces habitants ont vendu leurs plantations aux burkinabes at maliens pour aller s'installer a abidjan ou paris. Gagnoa et daloa sont pratiquement des villes cosmopolitaines, dont les mairies sont occuper par le parti de ADO.
    Et puis gagnoa, daloa, et soubre sont des villes de la cote d'ivoire et non du senegal.
