Aminata Touré discusses Kiiraay party and relationship between President Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko

This development is seen by some as a definitive break between President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and his former ally Ousmane Sonko. Touré defended the head of state, characterizing the political developments as "normal political life events" and not an unprecedented situation. She noted that several Pastef executives and officials have joined Kiiraay, suggesting this reflects a belief that President Faye continues to uphold the commitments that led to the 2024 electoral victory.

Touré highlighted President Faye's image as a defender of stability, peace, and institutions. She also mentioned the country's economic growth of approximately 5% despite a challenging international context, and stated that Senegal continues to honor its international commitments and social programs. Touré concluded by outlining the government's priorities: stability, dialogue, peace, and the continuation of development programs, dismissing the idea of a major political crisis despite ongoing tensions between supporters of Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko.
