BISSAU, November 28 (Xinhua) — Guinea-Bissau's transitional President Horta N'Tam signed a presidential decree in the country's capital, Bissau, on Friday appointing Ilidio Vieira Te as prime minister and concurrently finance minister.
The appointment took effect immediately, the Office of Communications and Public Relations of the Presidency said in a statement, adding that Horta N'Tam made the decision "in exercise of his powers and duties."
Ilidio Vieira Te, born in 1983 in the Biombo region of western Guinea-Bissau, is currently a member of the Party for Social Renewal, the third-largest political faction in the country. He served as Minister of Finance from July 2022 until the recent political upheaval in the republic.
During this year's presidential elections, Ilídio Vieira Te led the national election campaign for the No Kumpu Guine /Unity for Guinea-Bissau/ coalition, an alliance of several political parties that promoted ousted President Oumarou Sisoka Embalo as their candidate.
On November 26, the Guinea-Bissau armed forces announced they had established full control of state power to counter what they claimed were attempts to destabilize the country. The following day, November 27, Horta N'Tam was sworn in as transitional president.
Analysts say the sudden political shift, which came just a day before the presidential election results were announced, was a result of intense tensions between competing political forces.
Presidential and parliamentary elections in Guinea-Bissau took place on Sunday, November 23. –0–
