Parliamentary elections were held in Ivory Coast on 27 December 2025.[1][2] The ruling Rally of Houphouëtists for Democracy and Peace won 197 of 255 seats in the National Assembly.
Electoral system
The 255 members of the National Assembly are elected from 169 single-member constituencies and 36 multi-member constituencies with between two and six seats.[3][4] In single-member constituencies voters cast a vote for one candidate who is elected by first-past-the-post voting, while in multi-member constituencies candidates were elected by plurality-at-large voting, where voters cast a single vote for a closed list, with the list receiving the most votes winning all seats in the constituency.[5]
Candidates
More than 2,700 candidates ran for office, including nearly 800 independents.[6] The African People's Party – Côte d'Ivoire (PPA–CI), led by former president Laurent Gbagbo, boycotted the election and did not field any candidates.[7]
Campaign
The opposition PDCI-RDA accused supporters of the ruling RHDP of fraudulently gathering voter names, phone numbers, voter card details, and polling station information in exchange for cash payments of up to 300,000 CFA francs and the distribution of motorcycles as part of efforts to influence the election result. It also noted the disappearance of more than 25,000 voter cards in Port-Bouët.[8]
Results
Official reports from the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) said that Rally of Houphouëtists for Democracy and Peace (RHDP) won 197 of the 255 seats in the election, 34 more seats than in the outgoing National Assembly. Turnout was reported to be 35%, two points lower than the last election. The main opposition Democratic Party of Ivory Coast (PDCI) saw its number of parliamentary seats halved from 66 to 32. About 20 members of parliament were elected as independents, many of them dissidents from the RHDP.[7] The RHDP mainly dominated its strongholds in the north, and made gains in southern and western regions that were historically loyal to the opposition. The PPA–CI, which boycotted the election, lost all of its seats.[9]
