The Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire-Rassemblement démocratique africain (PDCI-RDA) has announced its intention to restructure after experiencing a tumultuous 2025, as indicated by its spokesperson during a press meeting on February 11, 2026. The year was particularly challenging for the party, as it faced legal turmoil and a significant defeat in the December legislative elections, resulting in the loss of half of its parliamentary seats compared to the previous term.

In light of these setbacks, the PDCI is undertaking consultations to address its internal issues and strategize for the future. As part of this restructuring initiative, the party has received nearly 300 submissions from party members and affiliates, which will inform discussions and decisions within the party hierarchy. The aim is to foster a revitalized structure that can improve the party's performance and public perception moving forward.

The PDCI's efforts come at a critical time, as the party seeks to reestablish itself as a formidable opposition force in Côte d'Ivoire politics. The ability to effectively restructure and respond to the recent electoral challenges will be crucial for the party's relevance and support in the wider political landscape of the country.
