Political criticism of President Faye in Senegal

Overview

Senegalese political figures, primarily from the République des Valeurs, have leveled criticisms against President Bassirou Diomaye Faye regarding the emergence of the Kiiraay organization and broader political stability.

Initially, Thierno Alassane Sall questioned the President’s focus on Kiiraay, which is described as the presidential party in Dakar, and raised concerns over the management of gas deposits and technical issues related to the ‘Gas to Power’ initiative.

Subsequent criticisms expanded to address the phenomenon of ‘political transhumance,’ with Tidiane Sall arguing that politicians switching allegiances undermines voter trust. Thierno Alassane Sall further characterized the Kiiraay party as a “soupou kandja of shame,” alleging it is a disorganized mixture of various political factions. These political disputes have been framed alongside broader national challenges, including rising fuel costs, electricity and water access, and irregular migration.
