After Alassane Ouattara won re-election in October 2015, Duncan and his government resigned on 6 January 2016, but Ouattara immediately reappointed Duncan as Prime Minister. In the December 2016 parliamentary election, Duncan was elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of the RHDP ruling coalition in Grand-Bassam, receiving 87.46% of the vote. Following the election, Duncan submitted his pro forma resignation as prime minister on 9 January 2017. Ouattara then appointed Duncan as the Vice-President of Ivory Coast, a post created by the 2016 constitution, on 10 January; he also appointed Amadou Gon Coulibaly to succeed Duncan as prime minister on the same day. Duncan was officially sworn in on 16 January 2017.
