Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, also leader of the PASTEF/Les Patriotes party, has called for an urgent gathering of top political strategists at his home in the Keur Gorgui district of Dakar. Scheduled for Friday, May 15, 2026, at 6:00 PM, this meeting comes amid heightened political tensions within the ruling coalition and the looming electoral calendar.
While the official agenda remains undisclosed, insiders close to the party indicate discussions will center on assessing the recent wave of mobilizations led by the “Diomaye Président” coalition across the country, particularly in the aftermath of the Mbour rally. The session will also focus on strengthening internal cohesion in response to mounting criticism from opposition forces and preparing for the upcoming party leadership renewal, announced just last night.
Confirmed attendees for this closed-door meeting include El Malick Ndiaye, Birame Souleye Diop, Yassine Fall, and Abass Fall, alongside Ayib Daffé.
