Dakar: Senegalese people are called to the polls this Sunday to elect deputies, after the dissolution of a National Assembly that remained under the orders of former President Macky Sall. President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and his Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko hope to have the votes needed to carry out the break advocated during the election campaign.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the election is seen as a crucial test for the leadership of President Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Sonko. Their campaign focused on implementing significant changes and reforms, which they term as a “break” from the past political norms. This election is particularly significant as it represents the first major political challenge for the Diomaye-Sonko duo since taking over the leadership.
The previous National Assembly, which was dissolved, was largely perceived as being influenced by former President Macky Sall. This election, therefore, is not just about choosing deputies but also about determining the political dire
ction that Senegal will take under its new leadership. The outcome will reflect the public’s confidence in the current administration’s ability to bring about the promised changes.
Observers are closely watching to see if the duo can secure enough support to implement their agenda. The results of this election will be pivotal in shaping the future political landscape of Senegal and the ability of the current leadership to maintain its legitimacy and fulfill its campaign promises.
