With 60% of the municipalities and more than the majority of the regions as well, the RHDP achieves a meteoric rise. Some senior officials have been a hit in their regions, like Téné Birahima Ouattara, the Minister of Defense, who won 98% of the vote in Tchologo. Just like Mariétou Koné, the Minister of Education who obtained 93.48% of the votes in Boundiali.
At the PPA-CI, the party cadres were all defeated in their localities. In Yopougon, considered a bastion favorable to Laurent Gbagbo, we reflect on the lessons of this election: after several years of calls for a boycott, it is not easy to mobilize voters again. Indeed, the participation rate is 27.67% in this municipality.
On the side of the PDCI-RDA, we draw a mixed picture: the party of late Henri Konan Bédié keeps control of the Iffou region, Yamoussoukro, the municipalities of Plateau and Cocody… But some “ leaders of the party fell, in Haut-Sassandra, in Gbéké, we lost Abengourou and we failed to recover the city of Bouaké regrets a manager. ” We have always contested the administrative division, which gives the advantage to the party in power “, Continues this source.
