The Rally of Houphouëtists for Democracy and Peace (French: Rassemblement des houphouëtistes pour la démocratie et la paix, RHDP) is a political alliance in Ivory Coast.

History

The alliance was established on 18 May 2005,^[1] seeking to reclaim the political ideology of the country's founding president, Félix Houphouët-Boigny. It includes the Rally of the Republicans, the Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire, the Union for Democracy and Peace in Côte d'Ivoire, the Movement of the Forces of the Future and the Union for Ivory Coast.

Despite the formation of the alliance, each party put forward its own candidate in the 2010 presidential elections.^[2] Although the five parties also largely contested the 2011 parliamentary elections alone, joint RHDP lists were run in some constituencies, winning four seats in Abidjan.

In the 2015 presidential candidates the alliance nominated incumbent President Alassane Ouattara of the Rally for the Republic as its candidate. Ouattara won with 84% of the vote.
