Pastef: Aldiouma Sow Defends Diomaye Faye and Rejects Existence of a 'Secret Pact'

Aldiouma Sow, an influential member of Pastef's National Political Bureau, publicly supported President Bassirou Diomaye Faye while criticizing a 'messianic drift' within the party. He firmly rejected the notion of a secret pact, countering claims by Ousmane Sonko that such an agreement was made at Cap Manuel prison before the 2024 presidential election. Sow emphasized that Faye has always valued political dialogue and should be judged solely on his presidential program and oath.
