Senegal’s Prime Minister and PASTEF/Les Patriotes leader, Ousmane Sonko, has called an emergency gathering of his top political advisors for this Friday, May 15, 2026, at his residence in Keur Gorgui, Dakar. Scheduled for 6:00 PM, the meeting comes at a critical juncture as the nation navigates internal coalition tensions and gears up for upcoming elections.
The agenda remains undisclosed, though insiders close to the party hint it will focus on assessing the recent mobilizations led by the coalition Diomaye Président across key regions, particularly following the high-profile gathering in Mbour. Another key objective will be to consolidate party unity amid mounting criticism from the opposition and to prepare for the upcoming presidential leadership renewal announced just last night.
Confirmed attendees for tonight’s closed-door session include El Malick Ndiaye, Birame Souleye Diop, Yassine Fall, and Abass Fall ak Ayib Daffé, all key figures in the party’s strategic inner circle.
