Senegal: The Broad Coalition Formed By The Opposition Is Already Imploding

PDS supporters did not want Khalifa Sall as a leader, so they created a new coalition with former President Abdoulaye Wade as head of the list for the legislative elections.

In view of the July 30 parliamentary elections in Senegal, the various political alliances have until midnight Tuesday, May 30th to deposit their lists. To oppose the coalition of President Macky Sall and protest against the incarceration in March of Khalifa Sall, the mayor of Dakar, suspected of embezzlement of public funds, the opposition announced the creation of a very broad coalition. But a few hours after the closure of the lists, this alliance announced as the only bulwark to the head of state, is literally imploding.
