Senegal: Amadou Ba Chooses Not to Boycott the National Dialogue

Former Prime Minister Amadou Ba announced his participation in the national dialogue convened by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, despite the boycott by some opposition parties. The meetings, taking place from May 21 to May 31, 2026, will be held as individual audiences due to the religious calendar. Amadou Ba, a former candidate from the Benno Bokk Yakaar coalition, justifies his presence by his commitment to the nation's greater interest, distinguishing himself from the APR and FDR, which have declined to participate.
