The party of former Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo said it was ending a 10-year boycott of elections, a move coinciding with efforts to end a prolonged political crisis.
“The Ivorian Popular Front (FPI) … will take part in legislative elections” due in the first quarter of 2021, the party announced in a statement on Wednesday following a meeting of its central committee.
The party promised to “give itself the means to win” the vote and would work with other opposition parties.
The announcement coincides with moves to scale down a months-long crisis sparked by President Alassane Ouattara’s decision to seek a third term – a move the opposition branded unconstitutional.
