Description
The leader of the country's main opposition party in Ivory Coast, Tidjane Thiam, has been removed from the electoral roll by the courts, which ruled, six months before the next presidential election, that he had lost his Ivorian nationality, according to one of his lawyers. This decision, which is not subject to appeal, effectively rules out Mr. Thiam's candidacy in the October 25 presidential election. Speaking before the court in Abidjan, the lawyer for Tidjane Thiam's party (PDCI) says that "the battle is not over" and that it will now be up to the party to take steps to find a solution.
