Sidi Ould Tah of Mauritania has been elected the new President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), succeeding Nigeria’s Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, whose decade-long leadership ends this year.

The announcement was made during the Bank’s Annual Meetings held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.

Following three rounds of voting and internal consultations, Tah emerged as the consensus choice to lead the institution.

Tah, a former Mauritanian Minister of Economic Affairs and Development, secured the necessary votes in a competitive election process requiring at least 50.01% of both regional and non-regional member votes.
