During the unveiling of Pastef’s new headquarters in Mbacké, party leader Ousmane Sonko delivered a stern warning to his political team, urging them to set aside personal ambitions in favor of collective strength. Addressing Pastef’s top officials, he emphasized that internal rifts posed the greatest threat to the party’s future, far outweighing any external challenges.
The Senegalese opposition figure acknowledged that individual aspirations were natural but cautioned that they became destructive when they undermined the party’s cohesion. With confidence rooted in his movement’s strong grassroots support, Sonko estimated that Pastef commands the backing of at least 70% of the population, making external adversaries less of a concern than the fragility of internal unity.
His message was clear: the real battle lies within. Sonko called on cadres to unite and prepare for upcoming political showdowns, while subtly signaling that failure to do so could lead to decisive action—implying potential sanctions or structural adjustments within the party. The warning underscored his unwavering stance that solidarity is the cornerstone of Pastef’s resilience and future victories.
