ousmane sonko addresses the nation following new government formation

DIRECT : Ousmane Sonko prend la parole après l’annonce du nouveau gouvernement

Ousmane Sonko is currently addressing the public live, an important development following the official formation of Senegal’s new government under Prime Minister Aliou Aminou Lo. This moment marks a significant juncture in Senegalese politics. We are closely monitoring the declarations from the influential leader of the Pastef party, who had previously indicated an awareness of this ministerial reshuffle.

Just hours after the unveiling of the freshly constituted government, helmed by Prime Minister Aliou Aminou Lo, Ousmane Sonko, who previously served as Prime Minister and now holds the position of President of the National Assembly, is holding a press conference. His address follows a public statement made yesterday, Monday, where the Pastef party chief declared that no members of his political movement would be participating in the new ministerial lineup.
