Albert Padacke, the prime minister of Chad, has resigned in order to make room for a new administration, the president's office announced on Tuesday.
After deciding to delay elections by two years, the nation of Central Africa did this.
After President Mahamat Deby gained power following the passing of his father in 2021, Mr. Padacke, a civilian politician, was appointed prime minister of a transitional military government.
Initial plans called for Mr. Deby's military council to rule for 18 months, but the nation declared it would delay democratic elections until around October 2024.
On Monday, Mr. Deby was sworn in as president for the new transition phase and was anticipated to name a new premier.
Mr Padacke also served as prime minister from 2016 to 2018 and was seen as an ally of former president Idriss Deby, who ruled Chad for 30 years until his death in April 2021.
