“Abolition of the Plateau municipality”: Resident outraged, calls for an end to the “false debate”

Gustave Konadjé, a resident of Plateau’s rue du Commerce for 45 years, objects to the renewed debate over abolishing the municipality, an idea also raised in 2024. He rejects allegations of electoral migration, saying around 80,000 of the roughly two million people who visit or use Plateau daily are registered there because of professional, economic or social ties. He cites Côte d’Ivoire’s Electoral Code, which allows voters to register in a constituency where they have a home, residence, or economic or social interests.
