78 yr old ivory coast president says will not run for third term

I think there may be some confusion here!

The President of Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) is Alassane Ouattara, and he is 79 years old, not 78. Additionally, he has already served two terms as President, from 2011 to 2020, and has not indicated any intention to run for a third term.

In fact, Ouattara has been quite clear about his commitment to respecting the country's constitutional term limits, which prohibit a president from serving more than two terms. He has also supported the idea of a peaceful transfer of power and has encouraged other African leaders to do the same.

So, to summarize, there is no news about an 78-year-old Ivory Coast president saying he won't run for a third term, as Ouattara is already 79 and has already served his two terms!
