In a move signaling a significant shift in Senegal’s political landscape, President Macky Sall has dissolved the government, replacing Prime Minister Amadou Ba with Sidiki Kaba, the Minister of the Interior and Public Security. The announcement came at the conclusion of a Council of Ministers (Cabinet) meeting held on Wednesday.

President Macky Sall’s decision to dissolve the government and appoint a new Prime Minister comes amidst controversial preparations for the upcoming presidential election in Senegal. The move is seen as a strategic decision ahead of the elections, indicating a shift in priorities and political dynamics in the country.

The decision to dissolve the government comes as Prime Minister Amadou Ba is set to be the ruling coalition’s candidate in the upcoming presidential election.

The Constitutional Council has now requested that the election be held before April 2, the official end date of President Sall’s mandate.

The move is seen as a strategic decision by President Sall ahead of the elections, indicating a shift in priorities and possibly a response to evolving political dynamics in the country. The new Prime Minister, Sidiki Kaba, is expected to lead the government during this critical period and oversee the transition to the new administration.

The dissolution of the government and the appointment of a new Prime Minister set the stage for a dynamic and potentially transformative period in Senegalese politics. As the country prepares for the upcoming elections, all eyes will be on the new government to navigate these changes and ensure a smooth transition of power.
