A special Council of Ministers meeting held on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at the Palais de la République in Senegal resulted in the dismissal of numerous officials perceived as close to the Pastef party or former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. These officials held leadership positions in various general directorates and boards of directors. Reports indicate the replacements prioritize individuals not associated with the previous ruling party. Among those departing are Sinna Amadou Gaye, identified as a Pastef leader in Kaffrine, who is leaving her post at the Agence nationale pour l'Emploi des Jeunes (ANPEJ), and Dr. Souleymane Loucar, also described as a Pastef official, who is stepping down from his role at the Centre hospitalier national de Pikine. The changes extended to organizations like Dakar Dem Dikk, Fonds d'Entretien routier autonome (FERA), Agence sénégalaise de Promotion touristique (ASPT), Fonds de Développement des Cultures urbaines (FDCUIC), Grand Théâtre national Doudou Ndiaye Coumba Rose, SAPCO SA, Agence pour la Promotion et le Développement de l'Artisanat (APDA), and Maison de la Presse « Babacar Touré ».
