After a surprising victory in the Senegalese presidential election, Bassirou Diomaye Faye faces the immense challenge of fulfilling his campaign promises. As his mandate reaches the symbolic milestone of 100 days, the assessment is mixed and the expectations of the population remain high.
The new president has indeed launched some reforms, particularly in the field of justice, but the pace of change is deemed too slow by many observers. Samba Ndiaye, a political analyst, emphasizes: « Senegalese people expect a lot from Diomaye’s regime, and in my opinion, we need to move faster. »
Economic challenges remain at the heart of concerns. Despite the announcement of a reduction in the prices of basic necessities, the impact on Senegalese purchasing power remains to be seen. The audit of the administration, promised by the president, raises both hopes and concerns about its results and consequences.
Moreover, some decisions of the new government have already sparked controversies. The operations to remove street vendors have drawn criticism, as has the freezing of accounts of certain media companies, perceived as an infringement on freedom of expression.
President Faye thus finds himself at a crucial turning point in his mandate. He must strike a balance between implementing ambitious reforms and the need to maintain the country’s social and economic stability. The coming months will be decisive in judging his ability to meet these challenges and respond to the high expectations placed in him by the Senegalese people. R.I
