Answer easily found with a google search
"Legislative capital of the cote d`lvoire"

but be careful one wbesite says
The administrative capital is Yamoussoukro, about 230km (143 miles) north of Abidjan.
another
Capital Yamoussoukro; note - although Yamoussoukro has been the official capital since 1983, Abidjan remains the commercial and administrative center; the US, like other countries, maintains its Embassy in Abidjan

I think it is abidjan

[jno]

could be either - presumably you can see which fits - but the official capital is Yamoussoukro. This was the village where a former president came from, and he spent zillions turning it into a capital city, including building what is said to be the world's largest cathedral. Abidjan, the former capital, is still the economic hub.
