Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lô, known as Al Aminou Lo, has officially assumed leadership of the Primature, outlining the core directives of his administration. This highly anticipated address followed the formation of the new executive team, approved by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, and was characterized by a firm political commitment to the “Diomaye Président” project and the comprehensive Vision Sénégal 2050.

In his remarks, the head of government stressed the imperative for public action to be results-oriented, institutionally coherent, and to harness all of Senegal’s vital national forces. He presented a 30-member cabinet, described as a “mission government,” structured to balance political foundations with technocratic expertise.

The Prime Minister also highlighted that the consultations preceding the government’s formation involved all relevant parties, including the leader of the Pastef party, Ousmane Sonko. This clarification comes amidst a politically charged atmosphere, marked by disagreements over the composition of the new executive and Pastef’s unofficial exclusion from the government.

Without explicitly naming him, several segments of Al Aminou Lo’s speech were widely interpreted as messages directed at his predecessor. By prioritizing the national interest over partisan considerations, the Prime Minister essentially reiterated that “the Homeland and the Republic must always transcend all partisan concerns.” Many observers perceived this phrasing as a direct response to the political strains surrounding the governmental transition.

In the same vein, the Prime Minister underscored the vision championed by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, which focuses on urgently fulfilling promises for a “sovereign, just, and prosperous Senegal.” He emphasized the need to mobilize all available expertise, including that from the diaspora, to accelerate the implementation of key public policies.

Regarding organizational structure, Al Aminou Lo announced several administrative adjustments within the governmental apparatus. Certain responsibilities were reallocated among ministries to enhance the coherence of public action. Notably, the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum, and Mines underwent restructuring, with some mining-related responsibilities transferred to a new department specifically 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 unveiled a revised methodology for governmental operations, founded on principles of rigor, coordination, and efficiency. This new dynamic, he stated, is designed to translate ambitious goals into tangible results for the benefit of the populace.
