Five days after the dissolution of the old government, President Macky Sall has appointed a new one. Prime Minister Amadou Ba, who is also a presidential candidate, said it was a government of continuity.
According to reports from Dakar, off the 39 ministers in the new government, only six are joining the team responsible for taking Senegal to the elections next February. Among the new appointees are El Hadji Omar Youm, who was until now president of the parliamentary group of the ruling coalition. He has been appointed as minister of the armed forces.
Most of the ministers were already in the previous government, but some changes have been made for the key ministries. Aïssata Tall Sall, former minister of foreign affairs, exchanged her portfolio with that of Isamaïla Madior Fall, previously at justice.
