Republic of Senegal Premier ministre de la République du Sénégal

The prime minister of Senegal () is the head of government of Senegal. The prime minister is appointed by the president of Senegal, who is directly elected for a five-year term. The prime minister, in turn, appoints the Cabinet of Senegal, after consultation with the president.

History of the office

In 1963, due to deteriorating relations with Mamadou Dia, who was accused of leading an attempted coup, President Leopold Sedar Senghor removed the post of Prime Minister, after approving the decision through a referendum. This office was reinstated in 1970 following a new referendum and Abdou Diouf then held the post until he replaced Senghor as president in 1981. The office of prime minister was again abolished between 1983 and 1991. On 6 April 2019, after being reappointed by President Macky Sall, Prime Minister Mohammed Dionne announced that President Sall had tasked him with enacting various government reforms, including the elimination of the job of prime minister. Sall's goal was to remove the "intermediary level" of prime minister to allow the president to take a more hands-on approach to governing. In November 2021, Macky Sall announced the return of the post of prime minister suppressed since 2019.
