Christophe Joseph Marie Dabiré

On 8 December 2021, amid an escalating security crisis, Burkina Faso's president, Roch Kaboré, fired Dabiré as prime minister. The presidential decree said members of the outgoing government would govern the country until a new government could be established.

In 1992, Dabiré managed Department of Health, until 1997 when he was responsible for Burkina Faso's Department of Secondary, Higher Education and Scientific Research, a position he would hold until 2000. During that time, he served in the National Assembly of Burkina Faso as a member of the Congress for Democracy and Progress party. After being re-elected to the National Assembly in 2002, Dabiré served another five-year term which expired in 2007. He was appointed to the position of Prime Minister on 21 January 2019, and took office three days later.

Dabiré served under Thomas Sankara as the director of studies and projects at the Ministry of Economy and Planning from 1984 to 1988, when he became the director general of cooperation at the Ministry of Economy and Planning. He held this position until 1992.
