Jacqueline Oble

Jacqueline Oble (born 1950), also known as Jacqueline Lohoues-Oble, is an Ivorian lawyer and politician who was the first woman to stand as a candidate in a presidential election. Quotes I told myself I had to do something because the country is divided. There are as many parties as there are Ivoriens and these Ivoriens all mistrust each other. I am committed to reconciling them and I think the job will need someone who is not part of any political party. We need a new social contract with the people, one which is based on trust and will improve their everyday lives and significantly reduce poverty. I cannot rely only on women. I believe many men have confidence in my vision. "I am candidate because I want to offer an alternative, to show that a woman can lead this country with competence, dignity, and a vision for peace." Jeune Afrique "Harmonizing legal systems across Africa is not merely a technical necessity; it is the foundation for economic integration and the rule of law." Revue internationale de droit comparé "The modernization of family law and succession rights is essential to protecting the dignity and inheritance rights of women and surviving spouses." Université Alassane Ouattara "A society cannot claim to be democratic and just while keeping half of its population away from political decision-making."
