Early life and education

Bamba-Lamine was born on 23 June 1970 in Abidjan. Her father, Moriféré Bamba, was Minister of Communication during Alassane Ouattara’s mandate. She has a law degree from the Robert Schuman University in Strasbourg, a master's degree in law from the University of Paris X and a doctorate in comparative law from the Nancy 2 University in France.

Bamba-Lamine was elected to the National Assembly for the commune of Abobo representing the Rally of the Republicans in 2011, the only woman newly entering government at that time.

She then resigned as Minister of Communications and was succeeded by Kone Bruno on 10 January 2017.
