Here is the English translation of the passage:

Faced with the persistent call from members of the Rally of Houphouëtists for Democracy and Peace (RHDP), President Alassane Ouattara left the door open regarding his candidacy for the October 2025 presidential election. “In the coming days, after careful thought and in good conscience, I will make a decision,” he declared on Sunday, June 22, 2025, at the Alassane Ouattara Olympic Stadium in Ebimpé, in front of a jubilant crowd of supporters.

Visibly moved by the enthusiasm of his base, the Head of State sought to reassure them. “I have heard you. So today, I want to tell you this: I have understood you. Thank you for your trust,” he said.

Addressing the challenges ahead, President Ouattara affirmed that his party would enter the October 2025 presidential election to defend its track record and values. “During the presidential election, we will go to defend our record and the ideals that have guided our actions all these years,” stated Alassane Ouattara.

In a reassuring tone, the Ivorian president sought to calm concerns, both domestically and within the international community. “I would like once again to reassure you: these elections will be peaceful, democratic, and transparent. Yes, everything will go well, in peace and calm. The security of the population will continue to be ensured. Trust me, yes, trust me.”

Regarding the RHDP Congress resolution calling for his reappointment as party leader, Alassane Ouattara responded directly. “I have listened carefully to the resolution concerning my reappointment as president of the RHDP. I received it with a sense of responsibility, but also with all the love I have for this political family we have built together. I accept to remain the president of the RHDP,” Mr. Ouattara declared.
