Former Ivorian minister Louis-Andr\u00e9 Dacoury-Tabley died on Saturday, October 17, 2026, in Abidjan at the age of 81, several Ivorian media outlets reported in the evening.<\/p>\n
L\u2019Avenir, KOACI, and Top News Africa report that he died after a long illness while being treated at a polyclinic in the economic capital. These publications agree on the date, place, and age of the former political figure.<\/p>\n
Louis-Andr\u00e9 Dacoury-Tabley had held several governmental and territorial responsibilities. Official Ivorian records list him as Minister of Water and Forests from January 2016 to January 2017.<\/p>\n
He had previously headed the Ministry of Solidarity and War Victims. A government archive dedicated to the handover of duties in May 2010 recalls that he had handed over the files of this department to the Chief of Staff of the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n
In June 2021, he was appointed minister-governor of the autonomous district of G\u00f4h-Djiboua. The appointment decree entrusted him with this territory in the central-west, which notably includes the regions of G\u00f4h and L\u00f4h-Djiboua.<\/p>\n
His political career began with the Ivorian Popular Front, of which he was one of the founding members according to media outlets that have traced his journey. After the outbreak of the 2002 political-military crisis, he joined the Ivorian Patriotic Movement and took part in the negotiations that led to the Ouagadougou political agreement in 2007.<\/p>\n
Born in September 1945 in Gagnoa, Louis-Andr\u00e9 Dacoury-Tabley held an advanced studies diploma in history. A curriculum vitae published by the Ivorian government also mentions his training as a police inspector and his experience as a senior research technician at the Institute of History in Abidjan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
