On March 15, 2025, in Abobo, Pascal Affi N'Guessan, the president of the Ivorian Popular Front (FPI), stated that he is the ideal candidate to oversee the political transition in Côte d'Ivoire, bridging the current generation of leaders with the emerging one. Speaking during the celebration of International Women's Rights Day, he declared, “I am a candidate for the presidential election in October 2025. I am the one who can connect the past generations with the ones coming.”

Affi N'Guessan strongly criticized the current administration, pointing out that after 15 years under President Alassane Ouattara’s rule, “the situation of the country has regressed.” He emphasized that it is time to address the damages caused and give the country a new direction.

His vision for the future centers on the people, particularly women and children. “We will rebuild Côte d'Ivoire. My program is focused on the Ivorian people, especially women and children,” Affi stated. He stressed the urgent need for change, declaring that the era of the old leadership has come to an end.

A key component of his proposed policies is improving the lives of the country’s youth and creating opportunities. "With our policies, no child will live on the streets. We will prioritize education and literacy," he promised. Additionally, Affi aims to create jobs and bring hope back to the younger generation.

For women, Affi N'Guessan unveiled an ambitious project: the creation of the Ivorian Women's Bank, which will help facilitate access to credit and provide support for women’s entrepreneurial initiatives, helping them to realize their dreams and projects.

In summary, Pascal Affi N'Guessan envisions a more just and equitable Côte d'Ivoire, with a government that prioritizes the needs of its citizens. He firmly believes the time for change has come, and that the Ivorian people deserve better. His message is clear: a new era is upon Côte d'Ivoire, one focused on building a brighter future for all.
