Senegal’s Council of Ministers has not met for a full month, since July 29, 2026, prompting speculation about the reasons behind the suspension. The government had previously reduced the frequency of meetings from weekly to bi-weekly as part of a broader governmental reorganization linked to the national transformation agenda. While initial explanations centered on ministers being on vacation, reports suggest the reasons are more complex. The prolonged pause is concerning, as the Council is vital for governmental decision-making, potentially delaying appointments and decrees. The lack of official communication from the executive branch is fueling rumors surrounding potential tensions within the government or the President's health – claims currently unsupported by any official sources. This situation coincides with preparations for the Prime Minister’s policy declaration to the National Assembly, adding to the sense of uncertainty.
