The Morning Call
Ivory Coast’s ruling RHDP party will now look to Amadou Gon Coulibaly, the current Prime Minister, as it’s candidate for the October presidential election.
Coulibaly, 61, who has spent his entire career in the shadow of President Alassane Ouattara has been a senior civil servant and a former Minister of Agriculture. He was trained in France and, like his mentor, is well versed in international financial circuits.
