On the evening of Monday, June 1, Sénégal’s newly appointed Prime Minister, Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lô, unveiled his cabinet, comprising 30 ministers. Notably, the PASTEF party, despite the head of state still being a member, is not part of this new government. The party, led by Ousmane Sonko, formally announced its decision to “not participate in this government,” attributing its stance to “points of disagreement.” This exclusion prompts significant discussion regarding the political landscape and power dynamics within Sénégal.
