New twist of the Senegalese Democratic Party (PDS) Abdoulaye Wade. After the renewal of the political bureau last week, several caciques decided not to integrate it.
Five of them have declined their appointments to the new PDS Political Bureau. Among them, heavyweights of the party like Babacar Gaye, Amadou Sall or Cheikh Tidiane Seck, long-time companions of Abdoulaye Wade.
In question: the path all traced to Karim Wade, the son of the former President of the Republic, to the party's succession. Last week, he was named number two in the new organization chart.
" It's a testament to Karim's benefit! We are in a nepotistic management of a party that implodes, "denounces a senior official of the PDS, who does not hesitate to speak of" crisis ". Before recalling that among the refractory, many were supporters of Karim Wade in his court cases .
But for Assane Ba, national secretary of mobilization and propaganda, " those who flounder today in the stretchers have become heavyweights thanks to the party. This reorganization is not a debate between the old and the new, but it is to fight the Macky Sall regime. "
And remember that PDS, Abdoulaye Wade has full latitude to name who he wants, including his son. A situation that may continue in the coming days in the main opposition party.
