Senegal politics: ousmane sonko addresses press after new cabinet formation

The leader of the PASTEF-Les Patriotes party, Ousmane Sonko, is set to hold a press briefing this Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at the Résidence Serigne Abass Sall, located across from the Police Academy in Dakar. The event, announced with much anticipation by the Patriotes du Sénégal, comes at a pivotal moment in the country’s political landscape—one shaped by the recent formation of the Al Aminou government and the ongoing institutional upheaval following the dismissal of Sonko from his role as Prime Minister in May of this year.
