A brilliant jurist, he was the first President of the Constitutional Council under the Alassane Ouattara era and was sworn in on August 4, 2011 before his resignation on February 2, 2015.
Before his death, Professor Francis Wodié had surveyed African universities to transmit knowledge.
He had been a founding member of the Ivorian League for Human Rights (LIDHO). His mastery of his discipline and his eloquence made him a darling of the amphitheatres. However, in politics the man had not been so successful.
