The Politics of Ivory Coast takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the President of Ivory Coast is both head of state and head of government, of a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the Government. Legislative power is vested in both the parliament; the capital since 1983 is Yamoussoukro. Most countries maintain their embassies in Abidjan. A civil war was fought in Ivory Coast between 2002–2004 and a second civil war broke out in March 2011 following contested elections that saw president-elect Alassane Ouattara come into power in 2011 and reelected in 2015. Troops hailing from the north of the country, mutinied in the early hours of September 19, 2002, they soon after launched attacks including Abidjan. By lunchtime, they had control of the north of the country, their principal claim relates to the definition of, a citizen of Ivory Coast, voting rights and their representation in government in Abidjan. The events in Abidjan shows that it is not a tribal issue, but a crisis of transition from a dictatorship to a democracy, with the clashes inherent in the definition of citizenship.

Forces involved in the conflict include: Government forces, the National Army called loyalists and equipped since 2003 The Young Patriots: nationalist groups aligned with President Laurent Gbagbo Mercenaries recruited by President Gbagbo: Belarusians some former combatants of Liberia, including under-17 youths, forming the so-called "Lima militia" New Forces, ex-northern rebels, who hold 60% of the country. Ivory Coast's 1959 constitution provides for strong presidency within the framework of a separation of powers; the executive is personified in the president, elected for a five-year term. The president is commander in chief of the armed forces, may negotiate and ratify certain treaties, may submit a bill to a national referendum or to the National Assembly. According to the constitution, the President of the National Assembly assumes the presidency in the event of a vacancy, he completes the remainder of the deceased president's term; the cabinet is responsible to the president. Changes are being proposed to some of these provisions, to extend term of office to 7 years, establish a senate, make president of the senate interim successor to the president.

Laurent Gbagbo took power following a popular overthrow of the interim leader Gen. Robert Guéï who had claimed a dubious victory in presidential elections. Gbagbo was elected president in 2000 in an election boycotted by many oppositional forces; the president is elected by popular vote for a five-year term. The prime minister is appointed by the president. Alassane Ouattara is the president of Ivory Coast, he was reelected in the 2015 Ivorian presidential election. After a new constitution was approved by referendum, it is expected President Alassane Ouattara would appoint a Vice-President before 2020; the President and Vice-President will run on a joint ticket from 2020. They will be both elected with only one possible reelection; the Vice-President will replace the President in case of death and any other vacancy. Parliament of Ivory Coast is a bicameral body composed by the National Assembly and the Senate of Ivory Coast. Prior to November 2016 and the future creation of the Senate, the Parliament of Ivory Coast was only composed of the National Assembly.

The National Assembly has 255 members, elected for a five-year term in single-seat constituencies. It passes on legislation introduced by the president although it can introduce legislation; the Senate of Ivory Coast will have two third of senators indirectly elected and one third appointed by the president-elect, elected five-year term in single-seat constituencies. Ivory Coast is a one party dominant state with the Rally of the Republicans in power; the judicial system culminates in the Supreme Court of Ivory Coast. The High Court of Justice is competent to try government officials for major offenses; the Supreme Court or Court Supreme consists of four chambers: Judicial Chamber for criminal cases, Audit Chamber for financial cases, Constitutional Chamber for judicial review cases, Administrative Chamber for civil cases. After five years of delays, new elections were held in 2010; the first round of elections were held peacefully, hailed as free and fair. Runoffs are scheduled for 28 November 2010, after being delayed one week from the original date of 21 November.

He was charged with the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars in property, including several small aircraft and multiple cars, all committed while still a teenager, he fled to the Bahamas on July 4, 2010 in a plane stolen from Bloomington, Indiana. He was indicted on July 6, 2010, by a U. S. Federal Court in Seattle, Washington, on charges of transporting another stolen aircraft in that state. Moore, still only 19, was arrested in Harbour Island, Bahamas, on July 11, 2010, after police shot out the engine of the boat in which he was attempting to flee. Two days he was extradited from Nassau, Bahamas, to Miami and transferred on July 21 to the Federal Detention Center, SeaTac in Washington. On December 16, 2011, Moore was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for dozens of consolidated charges brought against him from three different counties.

Neighbors said they made several calls to Child Protective Services, believing he was neglected or abused, his father, Gordon Moore, was in prison while Colton was a toddler. When Colton was twelve years old, his father walked out after an argument at a family barbecue. According to his mother, Pamela Kohler, his stepfather died when he was about seven years old, from the time Colton was in the first grade, she knew there was "something off about him" – "sort of a disconnection", he wouldn't listen to his teachers, started altercations at school, would sometimes deliberately break things around the house, Kohler said. According to a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation, Moore said that his mother drank and became mean, breaking his possessions, he started living in the wild at the age of seven, would break into vacation homes in the area, stealing blankets and water before disappearing into the forest for days.
