Charles Konan Banny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Konan Banny (born 11 November 1942) has been Prime Minister of Côte d'Ivoire since 7 December 2005.
Banny's selection to replace Seydou Diarra as transitional prime minister was announced on 5 December 2005. He had previously been governor of the Central Bank of West African States. His term was expected to end in October 2006, when national elections were to be held; however, elections were not held by the deadline, and the term of President Laurent Gbagbo was extended for another year, with Banny's powers increased during that period.
Because of his selection as prime minister, Banny is barred from running for the office of President of Côte d'Ivoire.
