Legislative elections scheduled to take place this Saturday in Cote d’Ivoire are abuzz with talks of former president Laurent Gbagbo who was forced out of office nearly 10 years ago by President Alassane Ouattara, before being flown to The Hague to face war crimes charges.
His Ivorian Popular Front (FPI) party has since ended a years-long electoral boycott, becoming the engine behind an alliance battling for seats in the National Assembly.
The elections mark the return of Laurent Gbagbo and his political organisation in institutional politics, said Gbagbo s eldest son, Michel, a university academic running in a constituency in Abidjan.
