In Senegal, Bassirou Diomaye Faye creates his own political party

More than two years after his election as President of Senegal, Bassirou Diomaye Faye has taken a new step by launching his own political party. This move comes at a time when his former Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko, is strengthening his control over Pastef.

Bassirou Diomaye Faye, the president of Senegal, has officially launched his own political party, just over two years after taking office. This initiative marks a significant step towards political autonomy for the Senegalese head of state.

The creation of this new party comes at a pivotal moment in Senegalese political life: Ousmane Sonko, former Prime Minister and a dominant figure in Pastef, is consolidating his hold on the party that brought Diomaye Faye to the presidency. The emergence of a separate structure raises questions about the nature of the relationship between the two men, who until now have been presented as allies.

Details of the program and the name of the new party have not been specified in the information available at this stage.
