Senegal’s constitutional revision: navigating political shifts within Pastef

The ongoing constitutional revision process in Senegal is under close scrutiny, particularly in light of recent political developments within the ruling party, Pastef – Les Patriotes.

This internal fragmentation is underscored by the formation of a new political entity by Diomaye Faye, a move that clearly signals a definitive separation from Ousmane Sonko and the original Pastef party. A critical question now arises: how will these profound internal realignments impact the continuation and implementation of Pastef’s foundational political agenda?
