Guillaume Soro renconduit the prime minister of Cote d'Ivoire

The day after his inauguration, President of Côte d'Ivoire, Alassane Ouattara, announced Sunday, May 22, that Soro would be reappointed as prime minister and form a national unity government in the coming days. He will also retain the defense portfolio, "said Ouattara. Between the two rounds of presidential elections, Alassane Ouattara had promised the post of prime minister would return to the Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire (PDCI), Henri Konan Bedie.

"With President Bedie, we consider that Guillaume Soro did a good work, the situation is still fragile, we need him, we hope it continues and he agreed to continue. It is he who forms the next government, "said Mr Ouattara in an interview with France 24 and Radio France Internationale (RFI).

"I will keep my promises [to the PDCI] in time, but this is not the time," he promised. PDCI Henri Konan Bedie, who came third in the first round of presidential elections, brought in the inter-turn decisive support Alassane Ouattara. New Forces leader who failed to topple Gbagbo in 2002 but since then occupied the north, Guillaume Soro, 38, became prime minister in favor of Gbagbo's peace agreement of 2007.

It was early in the political crisis arising from the refusal of Laurent Gbagbo chose to concede defeat Ouattara. Alassane Ouattara was also hoped that members of Gbagbo's party come in his future government of national unity. "I am in talks with moderate elements of the Ivorian Popular Front, I want them to be part of my government" , he said.
