Dolimont's rise to power was marked by some uncertainty as he awaited confirmation of his government role in Brussels.
As he seeks to establish his authority, Dolimont faces the challenge of navigating internal dynamics within the Walloon government.
Despite a lower public profile compared to Bouchez, Dolimont is committed to operationalizing the regional political declaration and implementing party policies effectively.

Georges-Louis Bouchez's influence was crucial in appointing Dolimont, emphasizing the need for a younger leader to spearhead reforms in Wallonia.
On July 14, 2024, Adrien Dolimont was appointed as the youngest Minister-President in Walloon history, following a decision-making process that favored him over other candidates.
Initially, Dolimont was appointed to the government without a specific role, amid ongoing discussions about the Minister-President position involving other prominent figures.
