afrol News, 21 June - The newly appointed Senegalese Prime Minister, Cheikh Hadjibou Soumare, appointed members of cabinet Tuesday, few hours after his appointment to the position. But the new cabinet retained the holders of key ministries, including Foreign Affairs, Economy, Justice, Interior and Mines.

The new cabinet, which retained the holders of key ministries, including Foreign Affairs, Economy, Justice, Interior and Mines is composed of mainly technocrats.

Mr Soumare’s appointment followed a legislative elections swept by the ruling Sopi Coalition on 3 June.

The 55-year-old Premier replaced Macky Sall who had earlier tendered his resignation papers to President Wade. Mr Sall, who served three years three months in office, led the ruling Sopi Coalition to victory in both the Presidential and Legislative elections this year.

17 previous Ministers have been retained in a new cabinet of 36 members. 11 of the ministers are females compared to 5 in the previous line up. Mr Soumare has reduced the size of the cabinet by 7.

Women have been appointed to ministerial posts such as Telecommunications, Tourism, Livestock, Civil Service, Competitiveness and Good Governance, among others.

Women empowerment ranks high on President Wade’s agenda.
