On Monday evening, the newly appointed Prime Minister of Senegal, Ahmadou Al Aminou Mohamed Lô, unveiled a 30-member cabinet. Yet, the composition excluded prominent figures from the Pastef party and individuals closely associated with former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. The party, which holds a majority in the National Assembly, cited “fundamental disagreements” to explain its absence from the government. But what exactly are these disagreements, and why do five Pastef members still hold positions in the new administration? Could these ministers face disciplinary action or even expulsion from the party?
