It’s been weeks since the press has heard about Guillaume Soro. Usually, the politician himself and/or his closest cabinet were present, daily, on most of the Ivorian influential platforms.
The last time the former Speaker of the Parliament was mentioned was five weeks ago in AfricaNews where he was quoted asserting his intentions to candidate for the presidential elections in 2025.
“There is no reason” not to be a candidate in the next presidential election, Guillaume Soro said. Neither prison nor exile is a brake on a career, on a political destiny. During my exile (…) I went everywhere, to America, Europe, the Middle East” to “make contacts, participate in meetings and private appointments”, he said.
According to Africa Intelligence, Téné Birahima Ouattara, younger Brother of Alassane Ouattara and also Defence Minister has made it his intention to isolate Soro Guillaume from his party friends.
“The Ivorian defense minister has discreetly met with several members of the inner circle of the leading political opponent in Paris of late. A move that may be designed to isolate him further from his main allies.”
