Ousmane Sonko, Prime Minister and leader of the PASTEF/Les Patriotes coalition, has called for an urgent meeting with top party officials this Friday, May 15, 2026, at his residence in the Keur Gorgui district. Scheduled for 6:00 PM, the gathering comes at a pivotal moment for the government, amid rising tensions within the ruling coalition and the looming national elections.
The official agenda remains undisclosed, but insiders reveal the discussion will center on analyzing the recent mobilizations of the “Diomaye Président” coalition across the country, particularly following the high-profile gathering in Mbour. Another key focus will be strengthening party unity in response to mounting criticism from opposition groups. Additionally, the upcoming renewal of the party’s presidency, announced last night, will be a critical point of discussion.
The restricted meeting will include key figures such as El Malick Ndiaye, Birame Souleye Diop, Yassine Fall, and Abass Fall (also known as Ayib Daffé). Their presence underscores the strategic importance of this gathering as the party navigates internal and external challenges.
