Ivory Coast’s President Alassane Ouattara has reshuffled his cabinet a day after being sworn in for a controversial third term.
He has appointed former presidential candidate, Kouadio Konan Bertin, to be in charge of the newly-created ministry of reconciliation.
Mr Bertin finished second in the presidential election held on 31 October, garnering 1.66% of the votes.
In his inauguration speech, President Ouattara insisted that the reconciliation process – following a fallout in the election that was boycotted by the opposition – would not be used to encourage impunity.
