Pastef Rejects the 2026 Supplementary Budget and Sets Four Demands for Senegal’s Government

The Pastef-Les Patriotes parliamentary group will not approve the 2026 supplementary finance bill in its current form, while acknowledging that new economic constraints make a budget revision necessary. It objects to certain budget allocations and financing mechanisms, and says lawmakers have not received adequate guarantees or information. Pastef calls for a review of cuts affecting health, education, vocational training, water, infrastructure and projects under the National Transformation Agenda, with adjustments focused instead on non-essential spending. It also demands that any cuts to energy subsidies be paired with lower taxes on petroleum products and reduced electricity costs, without raising prices for households or businesses.

The Alaska Supreme Court has ruled that both candidates named Dan Sullivan may remain on the ballot. In the August primary, Peltola received 49.5 percent of the vote, compared with about 41 percent for Senator Sullivan.

Akande says he witnessed Tinubu being sidelined in meetings and recalls that nominees including Dele Alake and Wale Edun were reportedly rejected for ministerial posts. He says Tinubu stayed in the party, remained patient and organized politically before winning the presidency in 2023, including amid challenges over the naira redesign policy. Akande urged Atiku Abubakar to set aside personal ambition and help unite the opposition ahead of the 2027 election.
