Guillaume Soro re-elected leader of GPS political movement

Guillaume Soro has been re-elected as the president of the political movement Générations et Peuples Solidaires (GPS) for a five-year term. The election was conducted electronically via videoconference, with Soro running as the sole candidate. According to reported results, 1,767 members participated in the vote, representing a 61.8% turnout.

Soro has outlined a new roadmap for his mandate, which includes eight key objectives such as strengthening the movement's national presence, professionalizing the organization, and preparing for state power. He emphasized a focus on political intelligence and training a new generation of leaders.

The re-election occurs amid significant legal challenges in Côte d'Ivoire. While Ivorian authorities previously ordered the dissolution of GPS due to alleged subversive acts, the movement's leadership maintains that they retain full legal existence as they continue to contest these judicial decisions through the Court of Cassation.
