Guinea’s military government has named, Mohamed Beavogui, a former civil servant and expert in agricultural finance, as Prime Minister to preside over a promised transition back to democratic rule following last month’s coup.
Beavogui, whose nomination was announced on Wednesday, had a prestigious career with international organizations, including the United Nations, but has no national government experience.
The 68-year-old engineering graduate and son of a diplomat is an expert in agricultural development financing and risk management.
The interim President, Mamadi Doumbouya, however said his administration’s mission is to refound the state by drafting a new constitution, fighting corruption, and organizing free, credible and transparent elections.
