In late September 2026, political supporters of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye organized the ‘Sargal Diomaye’ rally in Kaolack. Led by Ndeye Fatou Guedel Mbodj of the Kiiraay party, the event focused on mobilizing women and youth, distributing training certificates, and urging political unity to strengthen the party’s local presence ahead of 2029.

By mid-October 2026, the focus on Kaolack shifted toward national administration and infrastructure. President Faye announced that Kaolack will host the 2029 national independence day military and civil parade. To support this, a ‘Special Independence Programme’ was established under Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko to oversee large-scale public infrastructure projects and economic revitalization in the peanut basin region.
