The Senate is the upper house of the Parliament of Ivory Coast. The Senate was created after a new constitution was approved by a referendum in 2016.[2]

History

The Senate is expected to first sit in 2018, after the first Ivorian senatorial election, which will be held on March 24, 2018.[3][4][5] Under the constitution the Senate is expected to represent the regions.
