“If the presidential party retains its absolute majority in the National Assembly, pro-Gbagbo has shown that they remain one of the most important political forces in the country,” he noted. The young Africa. (…) Of the 254 alternate seats at stake, Alassane Ouattara won the RHDP 137 and therefore obtained an absolute majority (results which are still preliminary as they have not yet been validated by the Constitutional Council). However, the Presidential Party does not achieve its goal of a two-thirds majority. Above all, eight ministers, out of the thirty who were candidates, were beaten. “
Suddenly “Gbagbo tears his stool off in Ouattara”, launches Daily from Abidjan.
“Bédié and Gbagbo close Yopougon, Marcory and Port-Bouët in Ouattara … but the head of state succeeds what he hoped for”, notes for his part Evening info.
Yopougon, “the largest municipality in the whole country and former stronghold of the former president, notes Le Monde Afrique, which the PDCI-EDS coalition has therefore managed to take over from the RHDP with the election of Laurent Gbagbo’s eldest son, Michel Gbagbo.”
Finally, note Today in Burkina ”with the confirmed victory of the opposition in Yopougon, Marcory and Port-Bouët, the RHDP and PDCI-EDS thus share the Ivorian economic capital with 5 municipalities for each camp. Thus, Abobo, Adjamé, Attécoubé, Koumassi and Treichville return to President Alassane Ouattara’s party, while the municipalities of Yopougon, Marcory, Port-Bouët, Cocody and Plateau fall into the hands of the duo Laurent Gbagbo and Henri Konan Bédié. “
The opposition in ambush
The fact is that at the national level, the RHDP is still “the champion of the game”: that’s what’s pointing out Wakat Séra, still in Burkina Faso. “And the opposition is in ambush,” the Burkinabé news website also notes. “Obviously, the opposition has failed to thwart the plans of the ruling party, which retains its majority in the National Assembly and can sometimes count on the margin of fifteen independents. But by returning to the polls after successive boycotts, opponents who have even achieved the achievement of coming together in coalitions (…), the opponents give themselves real chances to return to the political debate through the front door. “
When will Gbagbo return?
Ledjely in Guinea adds and speaks of a “remarkable return from the opposition to him from the half cycle.” And now, the Guinean news site continues, “the opposition has played the game by legislative elections and the authorities will have to take other actions. And the most symbolic of these actions that we expect in the coming days is Laurent Gbagbo’s return to the country. After spending ten years in the ICC prisons in The Hague, the former president expressed the desire to return to his family. The agreement was in principle to be obtained from Alassane Ouattara. But so far this has not been able to realize, Ledjely points out. The election had therefore gone and the Ivorian authorities had to make this possible. ”
However, “the logic of the collection should not be limited to a few symbolic actions,” Ledjely continues. It must also be seen in the management of the Ivory Coast and in the distribution of its wealth. It is only in this way that the dynamics will result in an effective normalization to give Alassane Ouattara’s third term, albeit controversial and controversial, more calm than in the previous two. “
Questions about Hamed Bakayoko’s state of health
Finally note Paalga Observer in Ouagadougou ”the proclamation of these preliminary results took place in a specific context. As far as the Ivorians had one ear tied to the antenna for RTI and the other suspended from the health report of Prime Minister Hamed Bakayoko, evacuated to the US hospital in Paris on 18 February and then recently transferred to the CHU in Friborg, Germany. This may indicate that the state of health of the person who was re-elected Member of Parliament for Séguéla from his hospital bed is worrying. We must also believe that it is not tomorrow that he will return to his post of Prime Minister, when President Ouattara finally the day before yesterday appointed an interim Prime Minister in the person of Patrick Achis. ”
