history
After the Ivory Coast gained independence, it was the country's unity party from 1960 to 1990 under its chairman Félix Houphouët-Boigny . After the first pluralistic election in 1990, the party initially remained in power. In 1993 Houphouët-Boigny died and Henri Konan Bédié was his successor. After a heated election campaign and numerous legal disputes, it finally lost its supremacy as a result of the military coup led by General Robert Guéï .
From the parliamentary elections in 2000, the PDCI emerged as the strongest party with 94 parliamentary seats.
