Côte d’Ivoire: Robert Beugre appointed as new Prime Minister

Côte d’Ivoire: Robert Beugre appointed as new Prime Minister
Monday, 16 October 2023 19:46

Earlier this month, on October 6, Ivoirian Prime Minister Patrick Achi was dismissed and his government dissolved. The news came as a shock for many observers. Now, a new PM has been appointed.

Robert Mambé Beugré is Côte d’Ivoire’s new Prime Minister. President Ouattara confirmed his appointment today, October 16. Beugré replaced Patrick Achi who was dismissed on October 6.

This is a turning point in the country’s governance, in a context where many observers had expected Achi to be reappointed. Also, the country’s authorities have been striving to strengthen national unity, boost the economy, and maintain its role as a regional leader in West Africa. 

Mambé Beugré is no newcomer to politics. A former chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission, he has been governor of the Abidjan district since 2011 and was one of the leading figures in the opposition to President Laurent Gbagbo.

President Alassane Ouattara expects his government to be in place as soon as possible.
