Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lô, known as Al Aminou Lo, has formally assumed leadership of the Primature, outlining the core directives for his administration. This highly anticipated declaration followed the confirmation of the new executive team by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. His address firmly established a political alignment dedicated to the ‘Diomaye Président’ initiative and the ambitious Vision Sénégal 2050.

In his statement, the head of government emphasized the necessity for public action to be driven by tangible results, institutional coherence, and the mobilization of all national stakeholders. He unveiled a 30-member cabinet, which he characterized as a “mission government,” carefully balancing political representation with technocratic expertise.

The Prime Minister also highlighted that the consultations preceding the formation of this governmental team involved all relevant parties, including the leader of the Pastef party, Ousmane Sonko. This specific detail emerges amidst a tense political climate, marked by disagreements concerning the composition of the new executive and Pastef’s official non-participation in the government.

Without directly naming him, several segments of Al Aminou Lo’s speech were interpreted as veiled messages directed at his predecessor. By stressing the supremacy of the national interest over partisan considerations, Al Aminou Lo essentially reiterated that “the Homeland and the Republic must always stand above any partisan concern.” Many observers viewed this phrasing as a direct response to the political strains surrounding the governmental transition.

Following this same principle, the Prime Minister emphasized the vision championed by Head of State Bassirou Diomaye Faye, which centers on urgently realizing the promises of a “sovereign, just, and prosperous” Senegal. He underlined the critical need to harness all available expertise, including that of the diaspora, to accelerate the implementation of key public policies.

Regarding organizational structure, Al Aminou Lo announced several adjustments within the governmental apparatus. Certain responsibilities have been reallocated among ministries to enhance the coherence of public action. Notably, the Ministry of Energy, Oil, and Mines underwent restructuring, with some mining-related responsibilities transferred to a newly established department dedicated to Geology.

The head of government further indicated that the government spokesperson has been elevated to the status of a full minister, which, in his view, demonstrates a commitment to strengthening the consistency and clarity of institutional communication.

Finally, the Prime Minister announced a revised approach to governmental action, founded on principles of rigor, coordination, and efficiency. This new dynamic, he stated, is designed to translate ambitions into concrete results that serve the populace.
