Pastef’s membership drive yields impressive financial support
Hundreds of supporters gathered at the Pastef headquarters in Bamako this past Saturday for a membership card sales event that exceeded expectations. The initiative, designed to strengthen the party’s grassroots presence, drew enthusiastic participation from activists across the country.
Addressing the crowd, Ousmane Sonko, leader of Pastef, announced that the campaign had generated over 160 million FCFA in revenue, a significant boost for the party’s operational and campaign activities. The funds will support organizational efforts ahead of upcoming elections and policy advocacy initiatives.
In his remarks, Sonko praised the unwavering commitment of Pastef’s activists, describing their dedication as a cornerstone of the party’s growth. He conveyed his appreciation in Wolof, emphasizing the collective strength of the movement with the phrase: « Dolé gi Pastef am, Pastef sax xamuko. » — a rallying cry that underscores resilience and unity within the party ranks.
Membership expansion drives financial momentum
This fundraising push reflects Pastef’s strategy to broaden its support base while securing essential resources for sustained political engagement. The high turnout at the event signals growing momentum, with activists actively contributing to the party’s development through both financial and grassroots contributions.
