Yankhoba Diémé, a native of Casamance, former comrade of Ousmane Sonko and now Armed Forces minister has claimed that following a mass exodus, Pastef is now a hollow skeleton. He said: “There’s nothing left of this party [Pastef]. Of the 46 JPS (youth and popular support) coordinating bodies of Pastef, 35 were received yesterday at the presidential palace.”
During the launch ceremony of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s new political party, Diémé delivered a scathing attack on Pastef, asserting that the party led by Ousmane Sonko was gradually losing its members to the new presidential platform. According to him,“there’s nothing left of Pastef; everyone has left”.
