Nouveau gouvernement : Le portrait-robot du futur Premier ministre et les premiers noms qui circulent
Speculation has been rife since Ousmane Sonko's dismissal. In Dakar, political circles and observers are actively debating who will lead the next government. One thing is already certain: President Bassirou Diomaye Faye will have to choose a figure, whether a politician or a technocrat, who can be immediately effective.
“We have no time to lose, and the emergencies are piling up,” a political analyst told Seneweb on condition of anonymity. According to him, the profile of the future head of government meets very specific criteria: “He must have a deep understanding of the administration, possess strong interpersonal skills, and, above all, be able to re-establish dialogue with technical and financial partners. This is crucial to loosening the current financial grip, as Senegal is forced to borrow on the WAEMU market at particularly exorbitant rates.” Beyond economic expertise, Ousmane Sonko’s successor will also be judged on his institutional approach, particularly through a scrupulous respect for the prerogatives of the head of state, especially in foreign policy, an area that remains the president’s exclusive domain.
What about the potential candidates for Prime Minister? Currently, several names are circulating widely in political circles and on social media. Among the most prominent figures is Mouhamadou Makhtar Cissé, a State Inspector General (IGE) with a highly regarded senior civil service background. The name of Makhtar Diop, current Managing Director of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and former Minister of Finance under President Abdoulaye Wade, is also mentioned due to his extensive international experience. Other, more politically oriented figures, such as Amadou Ba, leader of the New Responsibility coalition, and Abdoulaye Daouda Diallo, regularly resurface in discussions.
However, discretion remains the order of the day at the Palace. As is often the case with the secrets surrounding presidential signatures, the Head of State retains full control over his decision, and the Senegalese people are not immune to a last-minute surprise.
