Bassirou Diomaye Faye set to establish his own political party in Senegal

Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a prominent figure in Senegalese politics, is poised to establish his own political party. This development follows his departure from Pastef, the ruling party previously led by Ousmane Sonko, who currently serves as Prime Minister. Faye’s dismissal last May brought an end to a period marked by several months of escalating disagreements and indirect tensions between the two former political allies.
