Nécrologie : Décès du premier maire libéral du Sénégal, Ousmane Egouloubène Diedhiou d'Oussouye
Senegal, the Ziguinchor region, and the Oussouye department have lost one of their most brilliant mayors of the 1980s: Ousmane Egouloubène Diedhiou. The first liberal mayor of Senegal, he passed away yesterday, Wednesday, January 14, 2026.

Formerly a resident of the National School for Rural Executives of Bambey (ENCR, now the Higher Institute for Agricultural and Rural Training - ISFAR), he was the one who shook up the political scene in the 80s, which was heavily dominated by the ruling Socialist Party.
Ousmane Egouloubène Diedhiou will reverse the trend by taking the helm of the municipality of Oussouye, thus becoming the first opposition member to be mayor under the banner of the Senegalese Democratic Party (PDS).
His burial is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, January 16, 2026.
Seneweb offers its condolences to his biological family, his brothers in the PDS, and the political class of the country.
