Ouedraogo returns as prime minister

    ABIDJAN

    President Blaise Compaore has asked Kadre Desire Ouedraogo to head the new government in Burkina Faso, AFP reported today, quoting a presidential communique issued on Monday. Ouedraogo had tendered his resignation as Prime Minsiter along with that of the government on Friday following Compaore’s victory in November 15 elections. Ouedraogo, originally named in February 1996, did not have a specific political affiliation, but has since joined Compaore’s Congres pour la democratie et le progres (CDP) party and was also elected to parliament.
