Pastef stands more united than ever behind one man. Ousmane Sonko secured a sweeping re-election as party leader at Saturday’s congress. Removed from the prime minister’s post two weeks ago by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, the former head of government—now President of the National Assembly—took the opportunity to reinforce his role as the chief opposition to the head of state. With a majority in the assembly, Pastef, he declared, “will ensure that the interests of the people are safeguarded.” How do you see the evolution of relations between Sonko and Diomaye Faye in the months ahead? Your reactions matter.
