Senegal politics update: ousmane sonko holds press conference after new cabinet formed

The leader of PASTEF-Les Patriotes, Ousmane Sonko, is set to address the media today at 5:00 PM at the Serigne Abass Sall Residence, directly across from the Police Academy. This high-profile press briefing follows the recent formation of the Al Aminou government and arrives amid heightened political tensions in Senegal.

The announcement comes at a pivotal moment for the country, as the political landscape remains volatile following Sonko’s dismissal from the Prime Minister’s office in May. The event, meticulously organized by the Patriotes du Sénégal, signals a strategic move to clarify the party’s stance in the evolving national dialogue.
