Strategic gathering planned at Sonko’s residence in Dakar
Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, also serving as President of the PASTEF/Les Patriotes party, has summoned key members of his political leadership for an exclusive evening meeting at his Keur Gorgui residence in Dakar this Friday, May 15, 2026. The closed-door session, slated for 6:00 PM, comes at a pivotal moment for the nation, amid rising tensions within the governing coalition and intensifying preparations for upcoming electoral cycles.
The official agenda remains undisclosed, though insiders reveal the discussion will revolve around assessing the recent nationwide mobilizations organized by the Diomaye Président coalition, with particular focus on the recent rally held in Mbour. Additionally, the gathering aims to reinforce party unity amid mounting criticism from opposing factions and to strategize for the upcoming party leadership renewal, announced just last evening.
Confirmed attendees for this evening’s strategic conclave include El Malick Ndiaye, Birame Souleye Diop, Yassine Fall, and Abass Fall ak Ayib Daffé, all integral figures in shaping the party’s direction ahead of critical political challenges.
