Macky Sall designated head of list for Takku Wallu Senegal: strong return to the political scene

Macky Sall, former president of Senegal, is making an unexpected return to the political scene by being designated as the head of the Takku Wallu Senegal coalition list for the 2024 legislative elections. After giving up a third presidential term, Sall seems determined to remain a key player in Senegalese politics. His appointment comes as a surprise, as many saw him stepping back after his two terms. This new electoral challenge could reshape the country's political landscape.

A bold political strategy

With this appointment, Macky Sall is implementing a surprising strategy. After leading Senegal for two terms, Sall seemed to have given way to new leaders within his party, the Alliance for the Republic (APR). However, by joining the Takku Wallu Senegal coalition, he is choosing a coalition opposed to the current regime of the presidential movement. This maneuver not only allows him to reposition himself, but also to bring together dissident and critical voices vis-à-vis the current administration.

A crucial issue for the legislative elections

These 2024 legislative elections are shaping up to be a turning point for Senegal . Macky Sall, by returning to the forefront of the political scene, poses a dilemma for the other forces present. His return could either unite voters in search of stability and experience, or spark a new wave of opposition determined to prevent his return. In any case, Sall's presence at the head of Takku Wallu Senegal indicates that these elections will be fiercely contested.
