Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara has suggested he may seek a fourth term in office, contingent on his party's endorsement ahead of the October 2025 elections.
Ouattara, 83, expressed his readiness to continue serving the country, stating that he is in good health and eager for another term.
"I’m in good health and eager to serve my country,” the 83-year-old Ouattara said Thursday at an event in Abidjan, the commercial capital, televised by state broadcaster RTI. “As of today, I have not yet made a decision."
Although Ivory Coast's constitution limits presidents to two terms, the ruling Rally of Houphouetists for Democracy and Peace (RHDP) maintains that a 2016 constitutional reform reset Ouattara’s term count, a claim supported by the country’s top judicial authority.
The RHDP had already declared Ouattara as their "natural candidate" for the 2025 elections.
