Prime Minister Dr. Robert Beugré Mambé fulfilled his civic duty on Saturday, October 25, 2025, by casting his ballot in his hometown of Abiaté, located in the Songon municipality, west of Abidjan. This symbolic gesture came as part of the ongoing 2025 presidential election.

After casting his vote, the Prime Minister delivered a message marked by serenity, unity, and civic responsibility, calling on Ivorians to make the election day a moment of peace, fraternity, and mutual respect.

“An election is, above all, about peace, friendship, solidarity, and the joy of serving one’s country in discipline and respect for others,” said Dr. Beugré Mambé, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.

He urged citizens to mobilize in peace and joy, emphasizing that voting is a civic act, a moment to choose the leader who will guide Côte d’Ivoire into the future.

In a context closely observed by both national and international communities, Dr. Mambé praised the democratic maturity of the Ivorian people, noting that a massive and peaceful turnout would reflect citizens’ confidence in the nation’s future and their strong sense of civic duty.

The Prime Minister also commended the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) for its efforts to ensure a transparent, credible, and inclusive electoral process.

As millions of Ivorians head to the polls, the Prime Minister’s message resonates as a call for national unity and collective responsibility. Through his appeal, the government invites all citizens to make this election a celebration of democracy, symbolizing stability, renewed trust, and a shared commitment to the country’s future.
