Algeria: Ahmed Ouyahia replaces Abdelmadjid Tebboune as Prime Minister
Wednesday, 16 August 2017 15:23
It seems the road has come to an end for Algeria’s Prime Minister, Abdelmadjib Tebboune.
Indeed, according to APS, the minister was removed from his office by President Abdelzaziz Bouteflika himself, three months only after he assumed the position.
“Purusant to article 91, paragraph 5 of the Constitution, his Excellency, Mr. Abdelaziz Bouteflika, President of the Republic, has removed from office Prime Minister Abdelmadjid Tebboune”.
The government also announced that Tebboune would be replaced by Ahmed Ouyahia (photo). According to local media, the removal of the minister is due to communication issues between him and the President of the Republic.
Let it be recalled that Ahmed Ouyahia, the new Prime Minister, led the Algerian government from 1995 to 1998, then 2003 to 2006 and finally 2008 to 2012. However, since 2014, he has been the Chief of Bouteflika’s Cabinet.
