Pastef prepares major political strategy for Ousmane Sonko at upcoming congress

The upcoming Pastef congress is set to be a defining moment for the political organization led by Ousmane Sonko. This high-stakes event will be divided into two distinct phases: a day of internal administrative restructuring followed by a massive public rally at the Dakar Aréna.

Internal governance and statutory elections

The first part of the congress, scheduled for Saturday, June 6, will focus exclusively on the party’s internal affairs. Delegates and observers will gather to deliberate on orientation documents and various resolutions. A central component of this session is the formal election of the party’s president, ensuring the movement’s leadership is strictly aligned with its governing statutes and legal framework.

Massive public mobilization in Sénégal

Following the administrative sessions, the party plans to transition to a large-scale popular assembly on Sunday. The Dakar Aréna will host a major gathering open to all activists, militants, and sympathizers. In a significant move, party leadership has confirmed that admission to the arena will be entirely free for the public, encouraging maximum participation.

This mobilization is designed to foster a direct connection between the Pastef leadership and its grassroots base. To emphasize a message of national unity and shared purpose, organizers have called on all participants to carry the national flag of Sénégal. This symbolic gesture aims to frame the event as a moment of collective gathering around common patriotic values and national progress.
