A court in Ivory Coast has suspended an elective congress of the country’s main opposition party in which the former chief executive of Credit Suisse, Tidjane Thiam, is among the contenders for the presidency.
The ruling followed a request from two senior party members alleging opacity and irregularities in the organisation of the congress.
They said that a day before the congress, they did not have the names of the shortlisted candidates for the presidency or the names of party members who will be voting.
The winner of the contest to lead the Democratic Party stands the chance of being the party’s candidate in the presidential election.
