The official presentation of the prizes to the winners of the “Gov’athon 2024” on Thursday 20 March 2025 at the Primature marked a step further towards the revolution and the digital sovereignty of Senegal. This national competition, organized by the Ministry of Public Service and Public Service Reform, embodies the government’s firm will to promote innovation and mobilize Senegalese youth around concrete solutions to modernize public administration. This event sparked debates around Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko in general and his attire in particular.

In his political ideology, Sonko takes the example of Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia.
