As Côte d'Ivoire approaches its presidential election in six months, Tidjane Thiam, the former minister and international banker, is set to be designated as the candidate for the PDCI-RDA, the main opposition party. This decision is expected to be formalized during a convention where Thiam is the sole candidate. However, his candidacy faces challenges due to a judicial procedure that has suspended the issuance of his Ivorian nationality certificate, which could impact his eligibility. The court in Abidjan made this ruling, raising concerns about the viability of his candidacy as the election date approaches.
