Voters in Ivory Coast cast ballots on Saturday to elect a new leader, with longtime President Alassane Ouattara seeking a fourth term. Several key contenders were barred from participating in the election. The event highlights the trend of older leaders maintaining power across Africa, despite the continent having the world's youngest population. Other aging African leaders include Cameroon’s Paul Biya at 92, Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni at 81, and Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Mbasogo at 83. The election took place on October 25, 2025.
