Chad’s political landscape has shifted with the appointment of Allamaye Halina as the new Prime Minister.
President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno announced the decision on Thursday, according to a presidential press release.
Halina, a seasoned diplomat and former director general of state protocol, faces the immediate task of forming a new government “as quick as possible,” the release stated.
This appointment follows the resignation of opposition leader Succes Masra on Wednesday, who stepped down to pave the way for a new administration.
The development comes just hours after Deby was sworn in for a new five-year term as president.
He secured victory in the May 6th presidential election.
The focus now shifts to Halina’s ability to form a new government and address the challenges facing Chad.
