Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lô, known as Al Aminou Lo, formally assumed the leadership of the Primature, outlining the key directions of his new administration. This highly anticipated declaration followed the formation of the new executive team, sanctioned by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. His speech was notably characterized by a clear political alignment with the “Diomaye Président” project and the comprehensive Vision Sénégal 2050.

In his remarks, the head of government emphasized that public action must be driven by a focus on tangible results, institutional coherence, and the full mobilization of all national stakeholders. He unveiled a 30-member cabinet, which he described as a “mission government,” carefully crafted to achieve a balance between its political foundation and technocratic expertise.

The Prime Minister also highlighted that the consultations leading to the formation of this governmental team involved all relevant parties, including Ousmane Sonko, the leader of the Pastef party. This clarification is particularly significant within a politically charged environment marked by disagreements over the composition of the new executive and Pastef’s unofficial status within the government.

Without directly mentioning his predecessor, several segments of Al Aminou Lo’s speech were interpreted as direct messages. By prioritizing the collective good over partisan considerations, he essentially reminded listeners that “the Nation and the Republic must always supersede any partisan concerns.” This phrasing was viewed by some observers as a response to the political tensions surrounding the governmental transition.

Continuing this theme, the Prime Minister reiterated President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s vision, which centers on the urgent need to fulfill the promises of a “sovereign, just, and prosperous” Senegal. He stressed the imperative of leveraging all available skills, including those of the diaspora, to accelerate the implementation of key public policies.

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

The head of government further indicated that the government spokesperson has been elevated to the rank of a full minister. According to him, this move demonstrates a commitment to strengthening the consistency and clarity of institutional communication.

Finally, the Prime Minister unveiled a revised methodology for government operations, emphasizing rigor, coordination, and efficiency. This new dynamic, he stated, is designed to translate national aspirations into concrete results that directly benefit the populace.
