Bakayoko dies of cancer, where he was receiving medical treatment. His death came two days after his 56th birthday and eight months after his predecessor also passed on.
Mr Bakayoko was flown to France in February for medical tests and was later transferred to Germany due to his deteriorating health.
The Current President Alassane Ouattara described Him (Bakayoko) in a statement as an example to young people and a man of exemplary loyalty.
"Our country is in mourning. I have the immense sorrow to announce the death of the Prime Minister, Hamed Bakayoko, Head of Government, Minister of Defense, this Wednesday March 10, 2021, in Germany, as a result of cancer.
"I pay tribute to the Prime Minister, Hamed Bakayoko, my son and close collaborator, too soon torn from our affection."
