In the Keur Massar region of Senegal, several key leaders from the Youth Patriotic of Senegal (JPS), the youth wing of the PASTEF party, have resigned. These officials include Abdoul Aziz Sow, Cheikh Gning, and Modou Mar.

The resignations are attributed to a desire to support President Bassirou Diomaye Faye directly, following a political rift between the President and Ousmane Sonko, the President of the National Assembly. Some members, such as Modou Mar, have transitioned to KIRAAY – Les Patriotes Républicains, a new political formation launched by the President.
