Gambian President Adama Barrow has dismissed Vice President Ousainou Darboe and two ministers, a statement from the presidency said Friday.
This is Barrow's second major cabinet reshuffle since 2017.
The president has appointed the Minister of Health, Dr. Isatou Touray, as vice-president. Touray will also oversee the Ministry of Health until further notice, the statement added.
The sacking follows months of tension between Barrow and his party since coming to power.
Amadou Sanneh, former Minister of Commerce, Regional Integration, Industry and Employment, was also relieved of his duties. Sanneh has been replaced by Lamin Jobe.
The president also sacked the Minister of Agriculture, Lamin N. Dibba. His ministry will be overseen by James Gomez, Gambian Minister of Fisheries and Water Resources.
