President Bassirou Diomaye Faye to establish new political party in Sénégal

President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is poised to establish his own political party in Sénégal. He was previously a member of Pastef, the current ruling party led by Ousmane Sonko, who served as Prime Minister. Sonko’s removal from office last May brought an end to several months of escalating disagreements and subtle tensions between the two former political allies.
