In Côte d’Ivoire, the Parti démocratique de Côte d’Ivoire (Pdci-Rda), through its president Tidjane Thiam, has appealed to its militants and the population as a whole to take part in the electoral roll revision operation. Touring the various communes of Abidjan, the politician reiterated the importance of revising the list in the 2025 electoral process.
We’ve done Yopougon, Attécoubé and Adjamé, and today we’re going to do Bingerville, Cocody and Abobo, so we’re going to do Abidjan Sud with the same message, which is to make people aware of the importance of registering and voting. It’s a question of civic-mindedness, not even a political issue, it’s about the future of the country.
Tidjane Thiam, President of Pdci-Rda
