After tendering resignation to Ouattara, Guillaume Soro was renamed prime minister to form a government of 13 members in repudiation with Gbagbo.
Soro, the leader of the ex-rebel New Forces (FN), had previously served as the head of government under Gbagbo in accordance with a peace accord signed in March 2007.
Now under Ouattara, Soro's government is mostly made up of people from the Rally of Houphouetists for Democracy and Peace (RHDP), a coalition of opposition parties.
