On Thursday, November 28, 17 Ivorian political parties signed a manifesto under the aegis of Henri Konan-Bédié PDCI to endorse the formation of the CDRP, the Coalition for Democracy, Reconciliation and Peace. On the agenda of this coalition, the reform of the Electoral Commission, as well as the free identity card against the background of the presidential election of 2020.

It is a wide range of Ivorian political parties that met yesterday Thursday at the headquarters of the PDCI, the Union of Social Democrats, through the Cojep Charles Blé Goudé to the Communist Revolutionary Party. An image of opposition unity was emerging.

" Remember that President Soro supports the coalition, " said Mamadou Kanigui Soro, president of the 15-member Raci, and Guillaume Soro's support. Our will at Raci has always been to see the Ivorians united and gathered and today the policy of dividing them does not suit us. What is most important today for us is that Côte d'Ivoire is united and united and that the Ivorian people are learning to trust each other. For us, it's the bedrock of development »

Bringing together with Together for Democracy and Sovereignty?

Among the great absentees, the FPI. The party of Laurent Gbagbo himself being at the head of another coalition, Together for Democracy and Sovereignty, his presence was not necessary.

For Maurice Kakou Kigahue, executive secretary of the PDCI, the rally may come later. " We discuss major issues together and our key issue is the reform of the Independent Electoral Commission . For now, we are not talking about "how are we going to elections". We are talking about how to change the face of Ivory Coast. So we work together and we have a FPI / PDCI collaboration document that will lead us to a partnership . "

If this coalition wants to be non-ideological according to the main stakeholders, everything seems in order to prepare for the 2020 election campaign.
