Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara has just dissolved the government in the late morning of Wednesday. He immediately reappointed the current Prime Minister Gon Coulibaly who is in charge of forming a new team that will be composed of “personalities of the RHDP and civil society”.
This dissolution comes in a crisis context within the RHDP’s political alliance. On June 17, the PDCI, had postponed its membership of the political group in power after the presidential election of 2020, waiting to see his ally of the RDR (the party of Alassane Ouattara) give up to present a candidate for this election in his favor.
The PDCI, however, faces a risk of internal split. Ministers of the last government from its ranks put in place yesterday Tuesday a political current favorable to an immediate membership RHDP.
The big question is whether the PDCI Henri Konan Bédié will still have its place in the future government, Alassane Ouattara having promised to remove from the team all parties that will have joined the grouping of the unified party RHDP.
Recall that the big challenge of these political maneuvers is the presidential election of 2020 to which the Ivorian president does not exclude to stand for a third term.
