The two main parties in Ivory Coast's ruling coalition will merge after elections later this year, aiming to consolidate support for President Alassane Ouattara. Ex-president Laurent Gbagbo's Ivorian Popular Front- the West African nation's third major party and its only opposition movement - is on the verge of breaking up due to disputes within its leadership.
Former President Henri Konan Bedie, who heads the Democratic Party of Ivory Coast, said a working group had been set up to prepare its fusion with Ouattara's Rally of the Republicans after the October polls.
