Côte d’Ivoire’s government has been dissolved following the resignation of Prime Minister Robert Beugré Mambé and his entire cabinet in the aftermath of the December 27, 2025, legislative elections.
According to an official announcement by the Secretary-General of the Presidency, Masséré Touré-Koné, the resignations were submitted to President Alassane Ouattara on Wednesday and were accepted. The development comes amid a broader political reconfiguration, with several members of the outgoing administration having been elected to the National Assembly in the recent polls.
President Ouattara, who was re-elected in October, formalised the transition by signing a series of decrees. One decree brought an end to the tenure of the prime minister and the entire government, while another terminated the appointments of the Ministers-Governors of the Autonomous Districts, signalling a push for wide-ranging institutional renewal.
The shake-up also extended to the presidency, as the president signed a separate decree ending the functions of Ministers of State, Ministers, and Ministers-Advisers attached to the Presidency of the Republic.
While acknowledging the resignations, President Ouattara expressed appreciation for the outgoing prime minister and his ministers, noting that they had made significant contributions to Côte d’Ivoire’s socio-economic development. He also praised the dedication and service of the Ministers-Governors.
To ensure continuity of governance, the former prime minister and members of the dissolved cabinet have been directed to continue managing routine government affairs. This interim arrangement will remain in place until a new head of government and a fresh ministerial team are appointed.
The collective resignation sets the stage for a major cabinet reshuffle, as political observers await President Ouattara’s next moves and how the new government will reflect the political balance emerging from the 2025 legislative elections in preparation for the challenges of 2026.
