Pastef stands united behind a single leader. Ousmane Sonko secured a sweeping re-election as party head during Saturday’s congress. Removed from the prime minister post fifteen days ago by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, the former government chief, now president of the National Assembly, used the occasion to further cement his role as a counterweight to the head of state.

Your insights matter.
