Chad’s new President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno has appointed Allamaye Halina as the new prime minister, according to a press release from the presidency.
Halina, a diplomat and former director general of state protocol, will now have to form a new government “as quick as possible,” the release said.
Halina replaces opposition leader Succes Masra, who resigned as prime minister on Wednesday to pave way for a new government.
The development comes just hours after Deby was sworn in for a new five-year term as president.
