The first presidential election after the contentious 2010 polls attracted widespread national and international attention. On the one hand, the country witnessed the consolidation of the governing coalition. On the other, it saw the disintegration of the opposition. After being rescheduled several times, the trial of supporters of former president Gbagbo, indicted for their alleged role in the post-election violence of 2010–11, took place in Abidjan. As in the past, the judicial system was biased in favour of the incumbent. After the ousted president of Burkina Faso, Blaise Compaoré, found refuge in Côte d’Ivoire, relations with Burkina Faso turned sour. However, the challenging political environment did not stand in the way of positive macroeconomic and social developments.
