The 17th Government of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic was announced by President Brahim Ghali on 14 February 2023, after he won re-election in the 2023 Sahrawi presidential election held during the 16th Congress of the POLISARIO Front. It is headed by Bouchraya Hammoudi Bayoun as Prime Minister, with this being his second consecutive term and his fourth overall.
The government only has three women members out of seventeen ministers and twenty-two cabinet members.[a] Mariam Salek Hmada became the first woman to serve as Minister of the Interior in the SADR[1] and second in the Arab world after Raya El Hassan, who was Minister of Interior and Municipalities in Lebanon between 2019 and 2020.
On 18 February 2023, the newly-appointed ministers took their constitutional oath on the first session of the Council of Ministers.[2]
