On the evening of Monday, June 1, Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lô officially unveiled his cabinet, a team comprising 30 ministers. Conspicuously absent from this new government formation is the PASTEF party, even though its leader, Ousmane Sonko, remains a prominent figure within the state. The party, led by Sonko, had previously announced its decision “not to participate in this government,” attributing the move to “points of disagreement.” This significant exclusion prompts questions about the underlying political tensions and what this reveals about the current state of Senegalese politics.
