Ivory Coast: Who are the signatories of the national dialogue call, and why is PPA-CI absent?

Fourteen opposition political parties and groups in Ivory Coast submitted a letter to the Prime Minister on October 11, 2026, to request a national dialogue on the reform of the electoral body, excluding Laurent Gbagbo's PPA-CI. The signatories, including PDCI-RDA, FPI, and others, aim to reach an agreement on conducting transparent and peaceful elections. PPA-CI, which had previously engaged in discussions, did not sign the document or attend the meeting with Minister Vagondo Diomandé, stating that its internal bodies had not yet approved its proposals.
