Portrait : De vendeuse de légumes à députée : l’ascension inspirante de Gisèle Ouehi Koffi

The start of the parliamentary session in Ivory Coast has unveiled new faces called upon to represent the voice of the people in the National Assembly. Among them, one trajectory stands out in particular for its strength and authenticity: that of Gisèle Ouehi Koffi , the new member of parliament for Logoualé .

A former vegetable vendor in the markets, Gisèle Ouehi Koffi embodies an extraordinary journey, forged through direct contact with the daily realities of the people. Starting from the informal sector, she has transformed her community involvement into recognized leadership, gradually climbing the ranks of local public life.

Today, she holds several major responsibilities: Chair of the Board of Directors of the COCOVICO market , Mayor of Logoualé , and now Member of Parliament . This triple role testifies to the trust placed in her by the people and her ability to defend their interests at all levels of decision-making.

Her entry into parliament symbolizes far more than a personal victory. It represents the hope for political representation closer to the people, led by a woman who understands the daily struggles and expectations of citizens. Through her journey, Gisèle Ouehi Koffi reminds us that politics can also be the culmination of a sincere commitment, rooted in lived experience and hard work.

From the street to Parliament, his story stands as a symbol of determination, resilience and social advancement , illustrating that, in Ivory Coast, the voice of the people can truly find an echo even in the highest spheres of the Republic.
