Significance
The poll was marred by pre- and post-election violence, resulting in scores of arrests (including some opposition leaders) and over 85 deaths. Ouattara has officially begun a process of reconciliation alongside attempts to restore public confidence in his administration.
Impacts
Ouattara will turn his attention to grooming a successor, most likely Prime Minister Hamed Bakayoko.
Oversubscription of a recent Eurobond issuance underscores strong investor confidence in Ivory Coast’s economic future.
Ouattara will continue efforts to attract increased foreign investment, alongside forthcoming major infrastructure projects and upgrades.
