Abidjan, June 17, 2025 – In the context of the Ivorian political landscape marked by the official announcement of Assalé Tiémoko’s candidacy for the October 2025 presidential election, Israël Guébo, vice-president of the political movement “Today and Tomorrow, Côte d’Ivoire” (ADCI), firmly stated that “Tiemoko Antoine Assalé will, in any case, be president of Côte d’Ivoire.” This strong declaration was made during a public appearance on the Grand Talk program on LIFE TV, where Israël Guébo expressed his unwavering support for the leader of ADCI.
For Israël Guébo, this statement is not merely a prediction but reflects deep confidence in the political project and personality of Assalé Tiémoko, deputy-mayor of Tiassalé and a rising figure in Ivorian politics. According to him, Assalé embodies a new leadership—sincere, honest, and patriotic—capable of meeting the expectations of Ivorian youth seeking change and social justice.
Assalé Tiémoko, who officially declared his candidacy on June 14, 2025, in Yamoussoukro, presents himself as a generational alternative to a political class considered outdated. His background as an investigative journalist committed to fighting corruption, and later as a reformist mayor of Tiassalé, gives him significant credibility among his supporters. The ADCI movement, founded in 2024, advocates transparency, good governance, and sustainable development, with particular emphasis on education, youth employment, and anti-corruption efforts.
In his remarks, Israël Guébo also stressed the importance of mobilizing Ivorian youth around this political project, inviting citizens to believe in a new Côte d’Ivoire built on trust and citizen participation.
This declaration comes at a crucial moment in Ivorian political life, as the October 2025 presidential election promises to be a decisive vote for the country’s future. Israël Guébo’s public support for Assalé Tiémoko highlights the rising momentum of ADCI, which aims to establish itself as a key player in the national political landscape.
