The Progressive Party of Ivory Coast (French: Parti Progressiste de Côte d'Ivoire) was a pro-France political party in Ivory Coast.

History

[edit | edit source]

The party was established in 1946 as a successor to the Patriotic Action Committee of Ivory Coast (Comité d'Action Patriotique de la Côte d'Ivoire, CAPACI),[1] which had supported Kouamé Benzème in the French National Assembly elections in 1945. The main leaders of the PPCI were Kacou Aoulou, Joseph Coffi, Julien Yacobi and Etty Arthur.[2]

In 1951 PPCI merged with Entente of Independents of Côte d'Ivoire (EDICI) to form the Party of the French Union of Côte d'Ivoire (PUFCI).
