Both rivals, Alassane Ouattara and Laurent Gbagbo, were sworn in as the president of the West African country on Sunday.

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.
