The Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire is a political party in Côte d'Ivoire.
From independence in 1960 to 1990 it was the only legal party, and was led by President Félix Houphouët-Boigny. In 1990 the first multi-party elections took place, but the party remained in power. When Houphouët-Boigny died in 1993 he was replaced by Henri Konan Bédié. After a fierce election campaign and legal wrangling, the party was ousted from power.
Today it is the second largest party in the Ivorian National Assembly , with 94 of 225 seats.
