Côte d'Ivoire's President Alassane Ouattara has reappointed Robert Beugre Mambe as prime minister, following the resignation of the government in the wake of December’s legislative elections, a presidential decree said on Wednesday.

Ouattara tasked Mambe with forming a new government “as soon as possible,” according to the decree that was read in a broadcast.

The president had accepted the resignations of Mambe and his government on January 7, paving the way for a new government following legislative elections that were held on December 27.

Ouattara’s ruling party, Rally of Houphouetists for Democracy and Peace, secured a majority in the National Assembly, winning 197 of the 255 seats, an equivalent of 77% parliamentary composition.

The legislative elections followed presidential polls on October 25, in which Ouattara won a fourth term with nearly 90% of the vote.
