Description
Charles Ble Goude, once right-hand man to ex-president Laurent Gbagbo, says he wants "to govern Ivory Coast one day," following his return home after acquittal on charges of crimes against humanity. However, he remained vague about the next ballots - the 2023 municipal and 2025 presidential elections - stating: "I do not declare a candidacy. No, but I want to participate in the next election." Officially, Ble Goude is banned from standing in elections because of a 20-year jail sentence linked to the post-election bloodshed. In 2015, Ble Goude launched his own political party, the Pan-African Congress for the Justice and Equality of Peoples (COJEP). IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
