During his Saturday morning visit to Louga, Ousmane Sonko arrived at the Koki daara, but the scale of the talibé gathering made it impossible to proceed as scheduled. The leader of Pastef was met with an overwhelming reception that disrupted the entire itinerary.

Unstoppable talibé mobilisation in Koki

The sheer number of talibés present created an impassable barrier, chanting Sonko’s name in a vibrant atmosphere. Their presence transformed what was meant to be a routine visit into a spontaneous public gathering, preventing further movement of the convoy.

The unexpected surge of supporters not only delayed the program but also shifted the focus entirely onto the political leader’s interaction with the crowd. Their enthusiasm turned the daara visit into a landmark moment of connection between Sonko and the local community.
