Senegal’s constitutional reform: navigating the pastef-les patriotes split

In Senegal, the ongoing constitutional revision process has become a central point of discussion, particularly within the context of significant internal shifts in the ruling Pastef-Les Patriotes party. Madièye MBODJ, Vice-President of Pastef-Les Patriotes, offers a critical analysis of these developments, providing valuable West Africa insider news on the nation’s Sahel politics. The political landscape is currently dominated by the recent split within Pastef-Les Patriotes, underscored by President Diomaye Faye’s establishment of a distinct political entity. This move effectively formalizes a separation from Ousmane Sonko and the original Pastef structure. A key question emerging from this political realignment is how the foundational program and vision of Pastef can continue to be implemented and sustained under these new circumstances.
