Ten months later, the Ivorian municipal elections will seal the future of Laurent Gbagbo's new party. In the Congo, while the presidency and the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) have continued to repeat throughout the past year that a postponement of the general elections was not on the agenda, the hypothesis of a slippage in the calendar has not been ruled out. The Gabonese electoral calendar will be very busy. A presidential election scheduled for August, then legislative and local elections scheduled for the same year.

On October 29, 2023, Malians will return to the polls to elect members of the National Assembly, dissolved the day after the 2020 putsch. In October and November, Ivorians will be called upon to elect their approximately 200 mayors, as well as regional presidents. In Madagascar, there will be the battle of the “exes”. The headliners of the next presidential election devraient être les mêmes qu' en 2018 . The first round is scheduled for October. On 25 February, the estimated 95 million voters in the continent's most populous country will elect Nigeria to succeed the outgoing president, Muhammadu Buhari.
