On the evening of Monday, June 1st, Senegal’s newly appointed Prime Minister, Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lô, unveiled his 30-member cabinet. Notably, the government was formed without the inclusion of the PASTEF party, even though the current head of state remains a member of the political movement. PASTEF, under the leadership of Ousmane Sonko, formally declared its decision not to participate, citing “points of disagreement” as the primary reason. This significant exclusion raises questions about the political landscape and the future dynamics within the Senegalese government.
