In January 2017 incumbent President Alassane Ouattara announced that he would not run again after being president for two terms (2010–2015 and 2015–2020).[1]
Former Prime Minister Guillaume Soro, who was living in France, announced that he would contest the elections. However, on 29 April 2020 he was sentenced in absentia to 20 years in prison and given a $7.6 million (£6.1 million).[2] Soro's lawyers claimed this was an attempt to prevent him taking part in the election.[2][3]
