Senegal’s President Faye Launches New Party, Sealing Political Split With Sonko | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Senegal’s political revolution has entered a dramatic new phase. President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has launched his own political party, formally ending his alliance with Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, the man who helped bring him to power in 2024. What began as a united movement promising sweeping political change has now evolved into a battle for the future of Senegal. As Faye champions institutional governance and Sonko doubles down on his populist base, the country is witnessing an unprecedented contest between the presidency and the ruling party. With the 2027 local elections approaching, this political split could reshape Senegal’s democracy and redefine West Africa’s most celebrated democratic success story.
