An official decree confirmed that President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye had terminated the mandate of Mr. Ousmane Sonko as Prime Minister, thereby also dissolving the positions of all government ministers and secretaries of state.
The decision, broadcast on national television, signaled an institutional shift, coming just hours after the head of government addressed deputies during a current affairs session at the National Assembly.
Mere minutes following his removal from office by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, Ousmane Sonko shared his immediate reaction via a post on the social media platform X.
