Former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo vowed to continue in politics “until my death” as he launched a new party following his acquittal by the International Criminal Court.

The PPA-CI held its first congress before thousands of supporters who packed into a hotel ballroom at the weekend in the commercial capital Abidjan.

Ouattara has also called for power to be handed off to a new generation after three decades of national politics dominated by the three men. Ouattara is 79 and Bedie is 87. Ivory Coast, the world's top cocoa producer, has West Africa's third-largest economy and has seen some of the world's fastest economic growth over the past decade.
