African People's Party – Côte d'Ivoire
Political party in Côte d'Ivoire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The African People's Party – Côte d'Ivoire (French: Parti des peuples africains – Côte d'Ivoire; PPA–CI) is an Ivorian political party founded in 2021 in the wake of the return to Côte d'Ivoire of former President Laurent Gbagbo, who preferred creating this new formation rather than trying to retake the position of head of the party which he had created in 1982 with his wife Simone Gbagbo, the Ivorian Popular Front (FPI).[1] The 18 members of the legislature elected in March 2021 to the pro-Gbagbo Together for Democracy and Sovereignty party left and joined the PPA-CI at its founding in October 2021.[2]

Strategy to come into power
2023 municipal and regional elections
Given the future elections, the PPA-CI set up a limited train line of typical team for representation in 22 regions out of 31 regions, given the difficulty posed by the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) to its party leader Laurent Gbagbo.[4] The candidates that stood in this election included Hubert Oulaye (Region of Cavally), Damana Adia (Region of Gboklè), Sébastien Dano Djédjé (Goh Region), Stéphane Kipré (Haut Sassandra Region), Assoa Adou (Indénié Djuablin Region), Georges Armand Ouégnin (Sud-Comoé Region) and Ahoua Don Mello (Moronou Region).[5]
Prominent municipal candidates with highest winning rate
