Spokesperson of the Senegalese Democratic Party (PDS), Tafsir Thioye has distanced himself from the decision of the party’s national secretary general to support the DiomayePrésident coalition during the presidential elections.
After the first release of the statement signed by former President Abdoulaye Wade, Tafsir Thioye himself issued a statement to express his disagreement. This attitude cost him his position as spokesperson of the PDS. In fact, in a public administrative decision, he is replaced by Bachir Diawara. The same decision appoints Gallo Tall and Abo Mbacké Thiam as deputy spokespersons.
This decision has caused a stir within the PDS and has led to a change in the party’s leadership. Thioye’s defiance against the party’s official stance has highlighted internal divisions within the PDS, as the party prepares for the upcoming presidential elections.
The decision to replace Thioye with Diawara as the spokesperson of the PDS reflects the party’s efforts to maintain unity and cohesion in the midst of differing opinions on political alliances and strategies. The appointment of Tall and Thiam as deputy spokespeople also demonstrates the party’s commitment to ensuring effective communication and coordination within its ranks.
Thioye’s departure as spokesperson of the PDS marks a significant development in the party’s leadership, as he had been a prominent voice for the party in the past. His disagreement with the party’s decision to support the DiomayePrésident coalition underscores the complexities of political alliances and the challenges of maintaining party loyalty in the face of differing opinions.
Overall, Thioye’s removal as spokesperson of the PDS and the appointment of Diawara, Tall, and Thiam as new spokespersons signal a shift in the party’s messaging and communication strategy leading up to the presidential elections. The internal dynamics within the PDS will continue to shape the party’s approach to the upcoming elections and may influence its ability to form effective alliances and mobilize support among the electorate.
