Cote d’Ivoire: Ivory Coast Opposition Leader Thiam Barred From Presidency Race

• Ivory Coast’s electoral commission has excluded Tidjane Thiam from the final list of candidates for the upcoming October 2025 presidential election
• The decision follows a court ruling earlier this year declaring Thiam ineligible due to his former dual nationality, which he renounced in March
• Other barred candidates include former president Laurent Gbagbo, ex-minister and ICC indictee Charles Blé Goudé, and former prime minister and rebel leader Guillaume Soro
