President Carlos Vila Nova of Sao Tome and Principe has appointed Americo D’Oliveira dos Ramos as the country’s new prime minister through a presidential decree issued on Sunday.
Ramos, who previously served as the governor of the central bank, succeeds Ilza Amado Vaz, who resigned from her position on Sunday. Vaz stepped down after citing the premature release of her proposed cabinet list to the public before formally presenting it to the president.
The appointment marks a new chapter in the nation’s leadership, with Ramos expected to form a government and address pressing national issues. The resignation of Vaz adds to the political shifts occurring in the island nation.
