In a major political shift in Sénégal, President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye has officially terminated the mandate of Ousmane Sonko as Prime Minister. This executive decision also resulted in the immediate dissolution of the entire government, including all ministers and secretaries of state.
The announcement was broadcast on national television, confirming a significant institutional rupture. This move followed shortly after the head of government had spoken before deputies during a parliamentary session focused on current government issues at the National Assembly.
Only moments after the presidential decree was made public, Ousmane Sonko shared his reaction on the social media platform X. He expressed a sense of peace regarding the transition.
