He was appointed to the position by President Abdoulaye Wade on April 21, 2004, when his predecessor, Idrissa Seck, was dismissed.[2] Sall was previously Minister of Mines, Energy and Hydraulics from May 2001 to August 2003 (becoming a minister of state in November 2002) and then Interior Minister from August 2003 until he became prime minister. He has also been mayor of Fatick since June 2002.[1] Sall is a member of the ruling Senegalese Democratic Party.
