Les maires de Diomaye Président recadrent Abdou Mbow et l'APR après l'audience avec le chef de l'État
The mayors of the Diomaye President Coalition say they have taken note of the statements made by some officials of the Alliance for the Republic (APR) aimed at "calling into question the commitment of the mayors" who participated in the audience granted by His Excellency Mr. Bassirou Diomaye Faye, President of the Republic.
They say they reject "in the strongest possible terms these unfounded accusations. They cannot mask the political reality that was expressed during this historic meeting." According to Samba Sall, the communications officer for the Coordination of Elected Officials of the Diomaye President Coalition and mayor of the municipality of Dabaly, "the mayors present participated freely, responsibly, and with full awareness of their commitment. No one was recruited against their will. Local elected officials are key political leaders, entrusted to them by their constituents, and their freedom of choice deserves respect."
He continued: “This meeting will remain etched in our memories. For several hours, the President of the Republic engaged directly with the mayors in an atmosphere of trust, attentive listening, and mutual respect. At the end of the meeting, he took the time to greet and speak personally with each mayor individually. This exceptional gesture of consideration deeply impressed the elected officials present.”
Samba Sall noted that on this occasion, "many mayors reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the President of the Republic in implementing his project for Senegal and to maintaining this commitment over the long term." He added that "many mayors were also present at the meeting of elected officials organized on July 2nd at the CICAD." He further clarified: "The audience on July 3rd with His Excellency the President of the Republic concerned the mayors of the Diomaye President Coalition who had accepted the invitation."
Furthermore, he emphasized, “several mayors who support the President of the Republic were unable to attend due to constraints related to their responsibilities or other obligations. Their absence should not be interpreted as a lack of commitment.” The mayor of Dabaly, who is also in charge of communications for the Coordination of Elected Officials of the Diomaye President Coalition, stated that he had also held discussions with the Head of State, which focused in particular on the structuring projects of the Dabaly municipality and on “our commitment to territorial development.”
The elected officials of the Diomaye President Coalition also reaffirmed their willingness to fully participate in structuring the future political party that the President of the Republic will decide to establish. "We are ready to contribute to its implementation throughout the national territory, even in the most remote localities, in accordance with the guidelines that will be defined," stated Mr. Sall.
“Attempts to sabotage, spread disinformation, or question the commitments of elected officials will not change this dynamic. The people will judge based on actions, achievements, and the sincerity of commitments,” Sall stated. He continued, “We tell Mr. Abdou Mbow that political debate deserves better than insinuations that challenge the freedom of choice of mayors. We urge him to focus his energy on his own political project and on earning the trust of the voters in his district.”
Above all, they are asking him to stop questioning the honor and commitment of the mayors. The local elected officials describe themselves as "political leaders who fully stand by their choices before their constituents." They believe that "the time for accusations and sterile polemics must give way to a responsible political debate, based on facts and mutual respect." They urge the leaders of the APR to "respect the free choice of local elected officials" and remind them that "mayors belong first and foremost to the people who elected them and remain free to make their own political commitments."
