According to journalist Cheikh Yérim Seck, speaking on RFM, former president Macky Sall and head of state Bassirou Diomaye Faye reportedly began secret negotiations before the latter gave his support to his predecessor’s candidacy for UN Secretary-General. Me Oumar Youm reportedly acted as intermediary to facilitate their first contact.
In this context, Bassirou Diomaye Faye reportedly travelled to Spain to meet Macky Sall, without the former president being fully satisfied. According to the journalist, the two men diverge: the head of state would like to bring the political forces together in a government of national unity, whereas Macky Sall would propose three separate blocs, including the Alliance for the Republic (APR) and Pastef, the party led by Ousmane Sonko.
The APR has denied any secret negotiation between Diomaye Faye and Macky Sall, as reported in an article published by our newsroom.
