PDCI-RDA: Senior official Fian Hervé placed under judicial supervision

Fian Hervé, a member of the PDCI-RDA political bureau and the party’s legislative candidate in Adiaké, has been placed under judicial supervision after appearing before the anti-terrorism section of the Abidjan court. According to sources close to the party, he was charged with 17 counts and allowed to return home. He is one of six senior officials summoned in proceedings related to the 2025 electoral crisis, which also involve PPA-CI figures.
