Ivory Coast’s Prime Minister Daniel Kablan Duncan has resigned and dissolved the government in a move that had been expected following the approval of a new constitution and parliamentary elections last month.

Duncan has been Ivory Coast’s prime minister since 2012.

According to Ceoafrica, he said "I have tendered my resignation and that of the government," he said at the Presidential palace, after a meeting with Ivory Coast’s President, Alassane Ouattara, who recently urged all citizens to return to their normal duties owing to Soldiers mutiny, which has been addressed.
