Liberal International congratulates President Alassane Ouattara on his fourth electoral victory in Côte d’Ivoire

Liberal International congratulates President Alassane Ouattara and our full member party RHDP on their resounding victory in Côte d’Ivoire’s presidential elections. Securing 89.77% of the national vote, President Ouattara’s re-election reflects the strong confidence of the Ivorian people in his liberal vision for transformation and progress.

LI Vice President and Minister of Animal and Fisheries Resources Sidi Touré hailed the result as a clear endorsement of President Ouattara’s forward-looking agenda, stating:

“President Alassane Ouattara’s resounding electoral victory with 89.77% is an astounding vote of national conviction in his liberal project for transformation. His 2025–2030 Program, built on six core pillars—Stability, Governance, Human Capital, Infrastructure, Agriculture, and Investment—is the roadmap for our nation’s future. Having served in cabinet roles covering five of these key priorities, it is a great privilege to be part of the team that sees Côte d’Ivoire anchored among the democratic nations with great social and economic progress. This motivates me to continue giving my maximum on this road to success.

The present support and understanding from my esteemed colleagues on the Liberal International Bureau and our members is an additional responsibility. This solidarity fuels my commitment to ensuring that not only Côte d’Ivoire but the entire continent of Africa achieves comprehensive success and liberal transformation.”

Liberal International commends the people of Côte d’Ivoire for their continued commitment to democratic governance and inclusive development. LI reaffirms its support for President Ouattara’s leadership in advancing liberal values, strengthening democratic institutions, and fostering prosperity across Africa.

LI Bureau condemns Ortega’s bid to end democratic elections in Nicaragua

Liberal International bureau strongly condemns President Daniel Ortega's declaration that there will be "no more elections" for Nicaragua's democratic opposition and the legislative measures that would effectively abolish meaningful democratic elections in the country. Together, these actions make clear the Ortega-Murillo regime's intention to extinguish any remaining prospect of a peaceful democratic transition and entrench one-party authoritarian rule, moving Nicaragua closer to the model of a single-party state such as Cuba.
