Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, also leader of the PASTEF/Les Patriotes party, has summoned key figures from his political command to a private gathering at his residence in the Keur Gorgui district. Scheduled for Friday, May 15, 2026, at 6 PM, the meeting arrives at a pivotal moment as national tensions simmer within the governing coalition and ahead of upcoming electoral deadlines.

The official agenda remains undisclosed, though insiders within the party indicate discussions will center on assessing the impact of recent mobilizations by the Diomaye Président coalition nationwide—particularly following the high-profile rally in Mbour. Another critical focus will be strengthening party unity amid escalating opposition criticism, as well as preparing for the imminent renewal of the party presidency, announced just last evening.

Confirmed attendees for this closed-door session include El Malick Ndiaye, Birame Souleye Diop, Yassine Fall, and Abass Fall along with Ayib Daffé. The gathering underscores Sonko’s proactive stance in navigating the evolving political landscape while reinforcing his party’s strategic positioning.
