Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire (PANA) - Seventeen Ivorian opposition parties gathered on Wednesday in Daoukro, in central-eastern Côte d'Ivoire, around former head of state Henri-Konan Bédié, president of the Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire (PDCI), to finalize the implementation of the non-ideological platform for the 2020 elections, called the Coalition for Democracy, Reconciliation and Peace (CDRP).
The coalition has a Conference of Presidents, headed by Bédié, and a permanent secretariat.
These political parties thus respond to his call for the creation of a non-ideological platform, bringing together all the entities for a reconciled country.
The first objective of this coalition is to fight for the establishment of a consensual independent Electoral Commission.
Bédié was President of Côte d'Ivoire from 1993 to 1999.
