Senegal’s Council of Ministers convened on September 10, 2026, and approved further restructuring within the administrative apparatus, resulting in the dismissal of several officials reportedly close to the Pastef party. The decisions were made by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye during the government's weekly meeting and follow a growing rift between the President and former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, who is no longer part of the government. These removals come after weeks of anticipation regarding changes in leadership positions across various general directorates and agencies. This latest move signifies a further step in reforming the Senegalese administration, building on previous changes made in July, which also saw departures of individuals linked to the former presidential majority and Pastef. The government appears intent on distancing itself from earlier choices made following the 2024 change in power. Details regarding specific names and positions affected are pending an official statement from the Council of Ministers, but sources indicate those dismissed chose to remain loyal to Pastef.
