Tidjane Thiam Intends to Return as the Leader of the opposition PDCI Party in Ivory Coast
The action follows the forced resignation of Tidjane Thiam, elected president in December 2023, because of his dual nationality.
According to party regulations, its leader must be exclusively Ivorian. However, at the time of his election, Thiam was still a French citizen. The move is intended to circumvent the argument against his eligibility.
