The President of the Republic, Macky Sall, was straightforward during the last Council of Ministers of his regime. In fact, the political discourse was decisive in this meeting at the Bruno Diatta Room (formerly the banquet hall). The President took the opportunity to debrief on the presidential election of March 24, 2024, which saw the election of Bassirou Diomaye Faye from Pastef with 54.28% over his candidate, Amadou Ba, who suffered a crushing defeat in the first round and settled for 35.79%.

The ruling party will now find itself in the opposition camp. This will be a “responsibility to assume,” according to Macky Sall. According to L’Observateur, the outgoing President sensitized his men on the need to continue after exercising power. He reminded them of the obligation to “prepare to be opposition members.” Before reminding them of the role to play. “It must be assumed with dignity and resilience. You must remain as activists,” he urged his men.

As if to warn them against political switching, Macky Sall continues: “There is no point in preparing to join new pastures,” especially “with all that entails a lack of consideration,” he emphasized. The President then continues in Wolof: “weet goré wetelikoo goré” (Remain dignified in all circumstances).
