PASTEF-Les Patriotes recently concluded an impactful 48-hour political tour across the Jolof region. Delegations, personally led by party leader Ousmane Sonko and accompanied by Minister of State Habib Sy, along with numerous national executives and coalition allies, traversed all 19 communes of the Linguère department, from Dahra to Barkédji, including Sagatta and Yang-Yang.
This deep dive into the heart of Jolof served as a powerful display of the party’s strength and local roots. The extensive itinerary featured respectful courtesy visits and productive discussions with local religious and customary authorities, alongside crucial strategic working sessions involving the party’s grassroots structures, including its youth, women’s, and executive branches.
Territorial outreach and opening of departmental headquarters
Following this significant mobilization, the party’s local bodies officially unveiled their strategic roadmap for the upcoming period. A pivotal moment of this journey was the inauguration of PASTEF’s permanent departmental headquarters, which simultaneously launched the official campaign for distributing membership cards. The overarching goal is to intensify the party’s local engagement and strengthen its territorial network through dedicated outreach efforts in every village and neighborhood across the department.
A call for unity
In the wake of these internal restructuring efforts, local political leaders issued a solemn appeal for unity. This call to action extends not only to long-standing militants and sympathizers but also broadly invites political figures from other formations who wish to align themselves with the party’s vision for territorial development.
