Senegal’s FDCUIC has seen a significant departure with the resignation of its president, Mor Tallah Gueye. The move comes as a show of support for opposition leader Ousmane Sonko, who is facing increasing pressure from the government.

Guye’s decision to leave his position as PCA president marks another high-profile defection in recent days. His departure follows that of the coordinator of the Senegal Patriotic Youth at Touba, who also quit their role within the government.

The two departures highlight a growing rift between supporters of President Macky Sall and those loyal to Sonko’s pastef party. As tensions rise, it remains to be seen how this will impact the upcoming presidential election in Senegal.
