塞内加尔总统巴西鲁·迪奥梅耶·费耶周六正式成立共和爱国党，标志着与执政党帕斯特夫党首领乌斯曼·松科的同盟彻底破裂[1]。两人曾于2024年共同以帕斯特夫旗号上台执政，但在国际货币基金组织贷款谈判等关键政策问题上产生分歧，导致联盟瓦解[1]。
费耶已于今年早些时候罢免了松科的总理职位[1]。松科随后被选为国民议会主席，其所在的帕斯特夫党仍然保有议会大多数席位[1]。费耶于5月任命艾哈迈杜·阿尔·阿米努·洛为新总理，并在6月组建了不包含帕斯特夫党部长的新内阁[1]。
President Bassirou Diomaye Faye of Senegal formally established the Republican Patriotic Party on Saturday, marking an official break with former ally Ousmane Sonko, the leader of the governing PASTEF party.[1] The two leaders had jointly taken office under the PASTEF banner in 2024 but saw their alliance fracture over policy disagreements, particularly regarding International Monetary Fund loan negotiations.[1]
Faye dismissed Sonko as prime minister earlier this year, though PASTEF retained its parliamentary majority and control of the National Assembly.[1] Following his removal, Sonko was elected president of the National Assembly.[1] Faye subsequently appointed Amadou Al-Aminu Lo as the new prime minister in May, with a new cabinet formed in June that excluded PASTEF ministers.[1] The political realignment came as the previous Senegalese government's hidden debt of billions of dollars came to light.[1]
