The Pastef party stands more united than ever behind a single man. Ousmane Sonko was overwhelmingly re-elected as party leader during Saturday’s congress. Removed from the prime minister’s office two weeks ago by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, the former head of government, now president of the National Assembly, used the occasion to further assert his role as an opposition force against the head of state. With a majority in the chamber, Pastef “will ensure that the interests of the people are safeguarded,” he declared. How do you see the evolution of relations between Sonko and Diomaye Faye in the coming months? Your reactions matter to us.
