Ivory Coast Parliamentary Elections See Low Turnout Amidst Opposition Boycott

Ivory Coast held parliamentary elections on December 27, 2025, with a provisional turnout of 32.35 percent, lower than the 2021 legislative elections. Opposition parties called for a boycott, contributing to the low participation. While the Independent Electoral Commission reported minor scuffles that were controlled by security forces, they stated these did not affect the overall process. President Alassane Ouattara, who won a fourth term in the October presidential election, cast his vote amidst heavy security presence.
