The PDCI-RDA is going through a new period of turbulence. Three MPs from the Abidjan district have recently distanced themselves from the party leadership , headed by Tidjane Thiam , revealing persistent internal tensions within the political organization.

The elected officials in question are Jean-Marc Yacé , Jacques Ehouo, and Emmou Sylvestre , all three prominent figures in the PDCI-RDA party in the economic capital. Their stance, interpreted as a disavowal of certain policies of the current leadership, was perceived as a strong political signal , given their electoral and institutional weight.

This distancing comes amid a climate of internal unease , fueled by disagreements over party governance, the management of the parliamentary group, and strategic choices in the lead-up to the next elections. While not formally announcing a break, the three MPs have nonetheless displayed a political autonomy that raises questions about the internal cohesion of the PDCI-RDA.

The party leadership has yet to issue a detailed official statement. However, this situation highlights the leadership and unity challenges facing the PDCI-RDA, a historic party in Ivorian politics, which is currently undergoing a period of restructuring.

With attention focused on the future of the party, this internal crisis could weigh on its ability to speak with one voice and consolidate its bases, particularly in Abidjan, a strategic stronghold in the national political landscape.
