Sénégal’s constitutional review: navigating the Pastef party’s internal divisions

Madièye MBODJ, Vice-President of Pastef-Les Patriotes, provides an insightful analysis of Sénégal’s current constitutional revision process. His examination is set against the backdrop of a significant internal split within the governing Pastef – Les Patriotes party. This fragmentation is underscored by Diomaye Faye’s formation of a new political party, a move that formalizes the separation from O. Sonko and the original Pastef movement. MBODJ delves into critical questions concerning the feasibility of continuing Pastef’s core program in light of these profound internal realignments.
