From Dakar: Senegal’s shifting political landscape
The brief alliance between Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko lasted barely two years. With the president sidelining his former prime minister, the stage is set for a high-stakes political showdown. As Sonko assumes leadership of both Parliament and his party, Pastef, the question arises: can this fractured duo coexist, or will Senegal’s urgent priorities fall by the wayside?
Panel of experts:
- Abdoulaye Tine, senior advisor and presidential spokesperson
- Amadou Ba, former Culture Minister, deputy, and Pastef’s National Secretary for Communications
- Babacar Ndiaye, political analyst and director of research at Wathi think tank
