Bassirou Diomaye Faye's ascent to the presidency and his alliance with Ousmane Sonko symbolize a shift towards an anti-establishment agenda focused on youth empowerment and combating socio-economic challenges.
Despite grand promises during the campaign for significant reforms and national reconciliation, six months into Faye's presidency, tangible change is impeded by opposition control in parliament and legislative hurdles.
Faye's initial victory was indeed remarkable as he and Sonko were released from prison just days before the election, which underlined their commitment to standing against the previous regime.
The ongoing political struggle highlights the tensions between the new administration's vision and the constraints imposed by the existing parliamentary majority, with former allies questioning its legitimacy.
