The Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire (French: Parti Démocratique de la 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.
At the last legislative elections, 10 December 2000 and 14 January 2001, the party won 94 out of 225 seats.
