Ivory Coast's Ouattara names PM from allied party
Abidjan, 13 Mar – (ANA) - Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara has named Jeannot Kouadio Ahoussou as prime minister- the first step in the formation of a new government. The PDCI party's backing helped Ouattara defeat former leader Laurent Gbagbo in a 2010 election. Ahoussou, 61, was formerly justice minister and Ouattara's deputy campaign leader. He replaces Guillaume Soro, who on Monday was confirmed as the new head of the country’s parliament. (ANA)
