In the National Assembly, Al Aminou Lô unveils his roadmap anchored in Senegal 2050

Delivering his general policy statement before the National Assembly on Tuesday, Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Lô set the tone from the outset: continuity. He chose to align his entire agenda with the national reference framework known as “Senegal 2050,” making clear his intention to follow the path already charted by the executive rather than steering the government’s action in a new direction.

Addressing the deputies, Al Aminou Lô sought to dispel any lingering doubts about a possible shift in public policy following his appointment to the Prime Minister’s office. The message was unequivocal: he has no intention of changing course. By anchoring his approach in the Senegal 2050 blueprint—a strategic document meant to steer state action over the medium and long term—the Prime Minister aims to demonstrate that his work aligns with the orientations previously set by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye.

This stance comes amid growing questions about the level of parliamentary support the head of government truly enjoys, as well as potential friction within the presidential majority. By stressing his commitment to the existing national framework rather than proposing a personal new impulse, Al Aminou Lô appears eager to reassure observers about the stability of the government’s line. This is especially pertinent as several sensitive issues—such as the high cost of living, power outages, and the downgrade of the sovereign credit rating—continue to fuel criticism. The remainder of his general policy declaration, particularly the detailed priorities he intends to pursue in the economic and social spheres, is now being closely watched by both lawmakers and the public.
