Cissé Ibrahima Bacongo, executive secretary of the Rally of Houphouëtists for Democracy and Peace (RHDP), handed Interior Minister Vagondo Diomandé the party’s proposals for creating a new Ivorian electoral body. The move follows the dissolution of the Independent Electoral Commission and forms part of consultations on electoral system reform, according to the RHDP.
Ivory Coast’s opposition submitted a letter to the prime minister on 12 October 2026 calling for national dialogue on the composition of the new electoral body. It wants to define an institution responsible for guaranteeing the impartiality of upcoming elections, according to L’Infodrome.
