Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune appointed Sifi Ghrieb as the country’s new prime minister and Mourad Adjal as minister of energy and renewable energy in a cabinet reshuffle, a presidential statement said on Sunday.
Ghrieb, who was the industry minister, had been serving as acting prime minister since Tebboune ended the tenure of Nadir Larbaoui last month.
Adjal was the CEO of Algeria's state power firm Sonelgaz.
The ministers of finance, trade and foreign affairs remained in their positions, the presidency said.
