In a few weeks, the new deputies will enter the assembly. While many are extroverted, many will enter the hall for the first time. Or who returns there after a long absence.
as reported from Abidjan, Pierre Pinto
Among the new ones, of course, are many from the pro-Gbagbo ranks, who per. Definition has no outbound. Thus, Michel Gbagbo, the discreet son of the former president, enters the half-cycle after his elections in Yopougon. An election that projects him into the forefront of the political scene.
Will return ten years later
He will be able to ask for advice from old regulars on the site, but who had not walked the assembly halls for 10 years, the former ministers of his father Hubert Oulaye and Émile Guiriéoulou, elected to the EDS in Guiglo, who were parliamentarians he for twenty years ago. Georges Armand Ouegnin, President EDS, also elected in Yopougon, will be able to ask his niece Yasmina Ouegnin, re-elected in Cocody to the PDCI to give him tips.
PDCI and quadra like her, Augustin Yohou Dia Houphouët, will sit on her chair in the semi-cycle for the first time in a few weeks. Ivorian political figure, Jean-Louis Billon will also debut as a replacement for Dabakala.
For the RHDP, not all ministers adjusted during these legislative elections are necessarily former deputies. This is the case with Moussa Sanogo, Minister of Budget elected in Touba. Technocrat like him, Souleymane Diarrassouba, who made his career in the private sector before being called to the government by Alassane Ouattara four years ago, was to represent Yamoussoukro. “Must” because his opponent is contesting his victory and the Constitutional Council will have to validate these results.
