Côte d’Ivoire : Kobenan Kouassi Adjoumani, la chute de l’« indéboulonnable »

It's a political earthquake in Abidjan. After twenty-four years of almost uninterrupted service in the executive branch, Kobenan Kouassi Adjoumani is leaving the government. The announcement, made official by the Secretary General of the Presidency, Masséré Touré, marks the end of an era. His Ministry of Agriculture has been entrusted to Bruno Nabagné Koné, formerly of the Ministry of Construction.

The chameleon of Ivorian politics: Rarely has a politician demonstrated such resilience. From the Gbagbo era to that of Alassane Ouattara, this former teacher has skillfully navigated between regimes, establishing himself as a central figure in the RHDP. Minister of State and party spokesperson, he was still on the front lines just a few days ago, defending the price of cocoa at 2,800 CFA francs per kilo in the face of the unsold crop crisis.

Towards a political transition? While his loyalty to Prime Minister Robert Beugré Mambé seemed absolute, his dismissal raises questions. Is it a simple technical adjustment or a deliberate generational renewal at the highest levels of government? At 63, although no longer in the government, Adjoumani retains his parliamentary seat and his territorial influence in Tanda. But this departure undeniably signals a major reshaping of the Ivorian political landscape for the 2026-2031 legislative term.
