A significant political shift is unfolding in Senegal, where President Bassirou Diomaye Faye recently declared his intention to establish a new political party. This move, announced on Friday, July 3, marks a clear escalation in the dynamic between the head of state and Ousmane Sonko, his former political mentor who now presides over the National Assembly. Observers note that both prominent figures appear to be consolidating their influence, setting the stage for a potential direct confrontation in the 2029 presidential elections. Political analyst Maurice Soudieck Dione, a professor at Gaston-Bergé University of Saint-Louis, offers insights into these developments.
