The political landscape of Côte d’Ivoire is witnessing a significant transformation as Dr. Ahoua Don Mello announces the launch of a new political party. This move follows a decisive meeting held on July 11, 2026, in Abidjan, where supporters and campaign team members endorsed the initiative to formalize his movement into a structured political entity.
Transforming a movement into a political force
Dr. Ahoua Don Mello, a former presidential candidate, has long championed sovereignist and alternative ideas for Côte d’Ivoire. The decision to establish a new party reflects a strategic shift, aiming to consolidate these principles into a formal political framework. The assembly, held under the leadership of Ipou Ludovic, saw unanimous approval of the resolution to create this political formation, with Dr. Ahoua Don Mello entrusted to lead its establishment.
A structured approach to political organization
The initiative is backed by a commission led by Me Sery Zokou, which included prominent figures such as Kouamé Kouakou (OK), director of cabinet, and Claudel Guiguy. The commission’s report, presented by Sery Sara Soko, emphasized the urgency of transforming the movement into an official political structure. Key figures like Mathieu N’Guatta, Sara Dominique, Ami Traoré, and Danon Goubo Armel Fabrice (Atho Belé) contributed to shaping this vision.
Core values and national ambitions
The new party is built on principles of democracy, social justice, good governance, solidarity, and merit. Its founding members envision a political force dedicated to defending national sovereignty while fostering development and renewal in Côte d’Ivoire. Dr. Ahoua Don Mello, in addressing the assembly, called for unity among patriotic, progressive, and sovereignist forces to build « a fairer, more prosperous, and fully sovereign Côte d’Ivoire. »
Next steps: The Congress of Pioneers
The formalization of the party will commence with the « Congress of Pioneers, » an event set to mark its official launch. While the exact date remains undisclosed, preparations are already underway. The assembly concluded with a reaffirmation of commitment to discipline and unity, signaling a hopeful start for this new political venture.
