Following a landmark congress of his Pastef party, Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, formerly Ousmane Sonko, is strengthening his political coalition. Sonko was overwhelmingly re-elected as party leader, signaling continued control within Pastef. The congress aimed to reorganize the coalition supporting the President following his election victory earlier this year. Details regarding specific restructuring plans and new alliances were not immediately available, but the event underscored Sonko’s firm grip on the party. This move is widely interpreted as a strategic effort to solidify his governing majority and advance his political agenda. The congress represents a key moment in consolidating power after a period of political tension in Senegal. Further announcements detailing the coalition’s new structure are expected in the coming days.
