Former Credit Suisse chief Tidjane Thiam aims to return the opposition to power in presidential elections scheduled for 2025 after winning a bid to lead the Ivorian opposition party.
Results of a vote announced late Friday showed the 61-year old former banker convincingly defeating his sole opponent to lead the Democratic Party of Ivory Coast, which ruled the West African nation for decades after independence in 1960 but has been out of power since 1999.
