Central African Republic(CAR) President Faustin-Archange Touadera Names New Prime Minister Wednesday March 30, 2016

Faustin-Archange Touadera, the Central African Republic's new President, has named his former campaign director Simplice Sarandji as the country's prime minister.

"The president of the republic, head of state, in light of the constitution of the Central African Republic of Wednesday March 30, 2016 ... decrees Mr Simplice Sarandji to be named prime minister, head of the government," a presidential decree released on Saturday said.

It was not immediately clear when Sarandji would name his cabinet but an announcement was expected in the coming days.

Touadera, a former prime minister and mathematics teacher, was elected president in February, replacing a transitional government that had held power since early 2014.
