Cote d’Ivoire’s Ouattara to Seek Fourth Term in October Election
“I am a candidate because the constitution of our country allows me to run for another term and my health permits it,” the Ivorian president said.
Cote d’Ivoire faces unprecedented security, economic, and monetary challenges requiring experienced leadership, he added.
The 83-year-old leader, who has been in power since 2011, was formally endorsed by the ruling Rally of Houphouetists for Democracy and Peace party.
