Côte d’Ivoire: a new era for electoral governance as cei is dissolved

A significant political shift is underway in Côte d’Ivoire. After a quarter-century of overseeing national elections, the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) has officially ceased to exist. This institution, frequently criticized and challenged by opposition factions, leaves behind a complex legacy. The focus now turns to evaluating its performance and, more critically, envisioning the design of a successor body capable of fostering truly peaceful and credible elections in the nation.
