Cheikh Yérim Seck : « Ces très grands risques que court Ousmane Sonko... »
Invited to the Faram Facce program on TFM, journalist and political analyst Cheikh Yérim Seck is convinced that a "new political cycle" has opened for former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko after his announcement of Pastef's non-participation in the new government.
According to him, the new Speaker of the National Assembly's media appearance on Monday was primarily aimed at his political base. "Yesterday, Ousmane Sonko spoke to the people of Pastef," he stated, believing that the leader of the Patriots is aware of the new political landscape in which he now operates.
According to Cheikh Yérim Seck, the Pastef leader finds himself in an unprecedented situation since his party came to power. "He knows that a new political cycle has begun for him. He was in the government and he left it. Consequently, he is heading towards an uncertain future," he argued.
The analyst also addressed the risks the former Prime Minister might face. "Be careful, he's taking very big risks, every imaginable risk. He risks prosecution, he risks being vilified," he said, adding that a political leader in such a situation has an obligation to maintain a strong connection with his grassroots supporters.
According to the former contributor to "Jeune Afrique," the main objective of Sonko's speech was to consolidate his troops after the political break with the President of the Republic. "That's why he spoke to his supporters, explaining the reasons for the break and asking them to mobilize," he analyzed.
Sheikh Yerim Seck also believes that the upcoming Pastef congress will be a decisive step for the party's future. According to him, the movement is facing an unprecedented challenge of internal cohesion. "For the first time in Pastef's history, there is a risk of division," he stated.
The journalist believes that President Bassirou Diomaye Faye now intends to fully pursue his own political agenda. In this context, Ousmane Sonko's communication strategy, according to him, aims to "remobilize activists and leaders around him" in order to address the new political landscape resulting from the split between the two main leaders of Pastef.
