Alassane Ouattara won re‑election as President of Ivory Coast in the 2024 election, receiving about 89.7‑89.77 % of the vote; nearly nine million citizens were eligible to vote.
Many in the country and the wider region are likely to view his fourth term as reinforcing the practice of constitutional engineering and deepening democratic decline in West Africa.
With his main rivals sidelined, Ouattara secured a fourth term in office due to his strong influence over state institutions, and leading role in the country's post-civil war reconstruction.
People saw that they didn't have a future with politics, or they couldn't imagine that politics would bring positive change to the country.
Their absence, their calls not to participate in the election, and the climate of tension that deteriorated in recent days foretold a significant demobilisation of the electorate.
