On Friday, May 29, 2026, the Primature hosted the official handover ceremony between outgoing Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and his successor, Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo. This institutional milestone signals the beginning of a new chapter in the government’s operations.

Attended by members of the outgoing government, senior administration officials, and Primature staff, the event unfolded in a solemn atmosphere. During the ceremony, Ousmane Sonko formally transferred key state files to his successor, ensuring continuity in public administration.

This transition comes at a time when authorities are committed to advancing ongoing reforms and strengthening government efficiency. Now installed in his new role, Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo faces the responsibility of coordinating government action and implementing the priorities set by the nation’s highest authorities.

An economist by training and a financial expert, the new Prime Minister takes on several major challenges. Among the top priorities are accelerating structural reforms, boosting youth employment, combating rising living costs, and revitalizing the national industrial sector.
