De Béoumi à l'Hôtel de Ville de La Rochelle : le parcours exemplaire d'Aya Koffi
The city of La Rochelle, a jewel of the French Atlantic coast, now has a native of Côte d'Ivoire serving on its executive council. Originally from Béoumi, Aya Koffi was officially elected on March 28, 2026, to the position of 12th Deputy Mayor. This appointment, made during the inaugural session of the new city council, marks a significant symbolic milestone for the Ivorian diaspora and illustrates an exceptional journey of integration and civic engagement.
Now a key figure in the municipality led by Olivier Falorni, Aya Koffi has been entrusted with local responsibilities and a focus on knowledge transfer. She becomes the deputy mayor responsible for the city's western sector, while also assuming the sensitive and prestigious portfolio of Veterans and Remembrance. This appointment reflects the confidence placed in her to uphold republican values while remaining a bridge between her two cultures.
Well-known to the residents of La Rochelle for her dynamism within the International Club, Aya Koffi was already honored earlier this year in a book celebrating portraits of remarkable women from the city. Her political rise is greeted with immense pride in her hometown of Béoumi, where her success is seen as a source of inspiration for Ivorian youth. By assuming these responsibilities, Aya Koffi demonstrates that diversity is an asset to local governance, thus connecting the two sides of the Atlantic through work and public service.
