Senegal: what should Ousmane Sonko do with his political plébiscite?

The Pastef party now stands more than ever behind one 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 figure to the head of state. With a majority in the assembly, the Pastef “will ensure the people’s interests are protected,” he said. How do you see the evolution of relations between Sonko and Diomaye Faye in the coming months?
