According to Bbc,The president of Ivory Coast, Alassane Ouattara, has named a new cabinet a day after appointing Amadou Gon Coulibaly as prime minister.
The cabinet will have 28 ministers, compared with 35 in the previous administration.
It includes seven fresh members and despite the recent mutiny which rocked barracks across the country, the defence and interior ministers have been retained.
The mutiny, mainly involving former rebels who are now integrated into the army, was the second such army uprising in less than three years.
New PM Mr Coulibaly is from President Ouattara's party, but many ministers come from other parts of the coalition that helped Mr Ouattara win the last two elections.
On Tuesday, Mr Coulibaly's predecessor, Daniel Kablan Duncan, was named vice president - a new post created in the constitution voters approved in last October's referendum.
