Guillaume Kigbafori Soro belongs to the political record as a figure whose decisions outlasted the moment that produced them.
The record lists Guillaume Kigbafori Soro as Ivorian politician.
Guillaume Kigbafori Soro was born at Diawala in 1972. His recorded nationality is Ivory Coast. He was educated at Paris 8 University and Félix Houphouët Boigny University.
Modern political life is continuous and public: careers are made and unmade at a speed that leaves little room between decision and verdict.
He served as Prime Minister of Ivory Coast (2007–2012), Minister of Defence (2011–2012) and President of the National Assembly of the Ivory Coast (2012–2019).
His political affiliation is recorded as Patriotic Movement of Ivory Coast.
His name is attached above all to Patriotic Movement of Côte d'Ivoire, and later the New Forces as its Secretary-General. Political reputations are settled slowly, and rarely by the people who made them.
That the career was made in Ivory Coast is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.
Guillaume Kigbafori Soro's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
