The abrupt reshuffle replaced 19 ministers and three state secretaries, just days after Saied sacked the former prime minister ahead of presidential elections on October 6.
"This morning, August 25, 2024, the President of the Republic has decided to make a governmental change," said the statement, without further explanation.
Saied, 66, was democratically elected in 2019 and is now seeking another term in the upcoming elections.
He has referred to his candidacy as part of "a war of liberation and self-determination" aiming to "establish a new republic" while a number of his political opponents are currently in jail or being prosecuted.
