Amadou Gon Coulibaly, Ivory Coast’s Prime Minister and the ruling party’s candidate for October’s presidential election, has died.
Coulibaly died on Wednesday after taking part in a cabinet meeting, Patrick Achi, Secretary-General in the presidency, said in a statement on national television.
Achi said the 61-year-old late Prime Minister, who had heart surgery in 2012, became unwell during the weekly meeting and was evacuated to a hospital where he passed away.
