Ousmane Sonko to address press after new government formation
In the aftermath of the newly appointed Al Aminou government’s inauguration, political tension remains palpable across Senegal. On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 5:00 PM, Ousmane Sonko, leader of the PASTEF-Les Patriotes party, will hold a press conference at the Serigne Abass Sall Residence, directly opposite the Police Academy.
The timing of this announcement—publicized with considerable anticipation by the Patriotes du Sénégal—underscores the gravity of the moment. Sonko’s appearance comes at a pivotal juncture, following his removal from the position of Prime Minister in May and the subsequent upheaval in the political landscape.
The press briefing is expected to shed light on the party’s stance amid the evolving dynamics of Senegal’s governance. Observers anticipate a strong statement from Sonko, whose influence continues to shape the nation’s political discourse.
