(MENAFN) Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has appointed Sifi Ghrieb as the country's new prime minister, marking a significant shift in the nation's political leadership. The announcement was made on Sunday, following the unexpected dismissal of Prime Minister Nadir Larbaoui just days earlier.

In an official statement, the Algerian presidency confirmed that Tebboune has tasked Ghrieb with the responsibility of forming a new government. However, no specific details were provided regarding the potential composition of the new cabinet, nor was a timeline for its formation disclosed.

This development comes after Tebboune’s decision to remove Larbaoui from his post on Thursday. Larbaoui, who had served as prime minister since November 2023, was ousted without any explanation given for his dismissal, fueling speculation about potential shifts in Algeria’s political priorities.

The swift change in leadership has drawn attention, though further clarity on the reasons behind the reshuffle remains limited.
