Ivory Coast's government says it has decided to favorably consider requests on the restructuring of the Independent Electoral Commission. 

The decision comes on  the proposal of the ECOWAS Peace and Security Commission chaired by General Francis Béhanzin.

The government also expressed its support for a meeting between the President Alassane Ouattara and the President of the PDCI, Henri Konan Bédié, with a view to the participation of the opposition in the presidential election of 31 October 2020.
