Thiès is making final preparations to welcome Ousmane Sonko this Sunday, with local Pastef leaders mobilizing to orchestrate a memorable welcome as part of the ongoing membership drive.

Ousmane Sonko’s political tour reaches Thiès

Ousmane Sonko is set to continue his nationwide political tour with a highly anticipated stop in Thiès. The announcement came from Birame Souleye Diop, former Minister of Energy and Petroleum, during a meeting with party activists in the capital.

Thiès, known as the capital of the rail, is buzzing with activity as Pastef members prepare to receive their leader. The visit follows his recent appearance in Dakar’s suburbs, where he was greeted by a massive turnout of supporters and activists renewing their commitment to the party.

Preparations for a grand welcome in Thiès

The local Pastef leadership is working tirelessly to ensure Sonko’s arrival becomes a defining moment in the ongoing membership campaign. This initiative aims to strengthen the party’s presence across Sénégal, with the capital of the rail serving as a key battleground.

Like his previous appearances, Sonko is expected to engage directly with militants, address pressing political issues, and outline Pastef’s vision for the coming years. The momentum is building as the party seeks to consolidate its grassroots support ahead of critical political milestones.

Political significance of the visit

The timing of this stopover is particularly strategic. It comes as the party ramps up efforts to enroll new members, a campaign that has already gained significant traction. Sonko’s presence in Thiès is poised to energize local supporters and attract undecided voters, further solidifying Pastef’s influence in the region.

With public interest in political developments across Sénégal at an all-time high, this event is expected to draw considerable attention from media and citizens alike.
