Côte d’Ivoire : décès de Guillaume Houphouët-Boigny, fils du premier président ivoirien
The family of the former Ivorian head of state is in mourning. Guillaume Houphouët-Boigny , one of the sons of Félix Houphouët-Boigny , the first president of Ivory Coast , died this Thursday, March 12, 2026, at the age of 89, according to sources close to the family.
The fourth and last son of the father of Ivorian independence and his wife Kadidja Sow, Guillaume Houphouët-Boigny led a relatively discreet life, far from the spotlight of the national political scene.
Unlike other members of the family bearing this iconic name in Ivorian history, he had mainly devoted himself to business and his personal activities, generally avoiding media exposure.
His death marks a new chapter in the history of the Houphouët-Boigny family, heirs to a name closely linked to the construction of the Ivorian state and the founding period of the nation.
Since the announcement of his passing, numerous expressions of compassion and tributes have begun to emerge in the country's political and social circles.
