At the heart of Dakar, the Pastef party headquarters buzzed with energy this past Saturday as supporters gathered for a landmark membership card sales campaign. The turnout was overwhelming, with activists pouring in from across the country to participate in this critical initiative.

Addressing the crowd, party leader Ousmane Sonko shared a remarkable milestone: the campaign has already raised more than 160 million FCFA, demonstrating the party’s financial momentum and grassroots strength.

With palpable enthusiasm radiating through the venue, Sonko took a moment to commend the unwavering dedication of Pastef’s members. He emphasized their collective power in a powerful Wolof phrase: « Dolé gi Pastef am, Pastef sax xamuko. » The statement, he explained, encapsulates the party’s resilience and potential to shape Senegal’s future.
