Sources: 6. Developments: 2. The Mouvement des générations capables (MGC) in Côte d’Ivoire is facing a significant internal crisis characterized by a wave of high-ranking resignations. Since mid-July, the party has seen over one hundred departures, including the first vice-president, 57 officials from the Abobo 3 regional coordination, and various cabinet members and regional coordinators. Former vice-presidents Irène Gohourou, Ago Marthe Zadi, Jean-Claude Kouao, and Yves Djédjé have stated their departures were motivated by personal conscience and a misalignment with party values. They explicitly denied rumors of financial misconduct, specifically contesting allegations regarding the misappropriation of 300 million FCFA. They characterized such claims as personal attacks intended to damage their reputations. In response to the exodus, MGC president Simone Gbagbo is working to reorganize and revitalize the party. She is currently in France to install European representatives for the movement. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-20: Simone Gbagbo addresses mass resignations within MGC Simone Gbagbo has responded to a crisis within the Mouvement des générations capables (MGC) following the departure of over 100 officials and members since June. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/simone-gbagbo-addresses-mass-resignations-within-mgc ### 2026-09-08: MGC party members deny financial misconduct following resignations Four former vice-presidents of Simone Gbagbo’s MGC party have denied allegations of financial misconduct, stating their resignations were based on political conscience and value misalignments. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mgc-party-members-deny-financial-misconduct-following-resignations --- Cite as: MGC party leadership crisis in Côte d’Ivoire.
