Senegal’s new government sparks debate over democratic governance

In Senegal, the recently appointed government led by Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lô has ignited significant debate. Comprising 30 ministers, the team includes technocrats and allies of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, with no prominent figures from the Pastef party under Ousmane Sonko, despite the president’s own membership in the party. This composition underscores a growing divide between President Faye and Ousmane Sonko, who has chosen not to participate. Aminata Touré, the Supervisory General of the coalition Diomaye Président, is at the forefront of this political shift. She shares her insights as the featured guest of our correspondent in Dakar.
