Senegal has officially inaugurated a new government, a significant development that clearly delineates the cohabitation between President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and his Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko. This formation marks a pivotal moment in the nation’s political landscape, establishing the framework for their shared governance.

Notably, the newly unveiled cabinet does not include the Pastef party as a direct entity.

This arrangement is set to shape the immediate future of Senegalese policy and administration.
