Ousmane Sonko-Diomaye Président

The political atmosphere is intensifying as Ousmane Sonko, the leader of Pastef, has called for a high-level meeting with his top political advisors. The gathering is scheduled to take place at his private residence located in the Cité Keur Gorgui neighborhood.

A significant group of influential figures within the party is expected to convene at the leader’s home by 6:00 PM. The guest list for this strategic session includes several prominent names:

  • El Malick Ndiaye
  • Birame Souleye Diop
  • Yassine Fall
  • Daouda Ngom
  • Abass Fall
  • Ayib Daffé

This sudden mobilization of the party’s inner circle has raised many questions. As these key political actors head to the meeting, observers are keen to understand the motivations behind this late-afternoon political ballet and what decisions might emerge from the discussions.
