Politique : L’APR dénonce les « menaces » et le « débauchage » politique
The Alliance for the Republic (APR) accuses the current government of resorting to "threats" and "poaching" to bolster its ranks. Meeting on Thursday, September 3, 2026, the National Executive Secretariat (SEN) of former President Macky Sall's party denounced what it presents as practices contrary to the rules of democratic political competition.
In its statement, the APR asserts that certain political leaders are facing pressure in a context marked by the government's desire to win over elected officials. The former ruling party accuses the current ruling party of seeking to "legitimize itself through threats and the poaching of political leaders," a practice the APR deems incompatible with the principles of a pluralist democracy.
"In an open democracy, there is a code of honor whose foundation is the refusal to base the construction of a political formation exclusively on threat, coercion and duplicity instead of persuasion and conviction on the ground," denounces the SEN.
At the same time, the APR reaffirms its "commitment to the republican opposition" and its desire to build an alternative for the 2029 presidential election. The party asserts that it is not participating in any behind-the-scenes negotiations and affirms that it is continuing its operations of selling cards, setting up committees and mobilizing its activists.
In this perspective, the APR announces the sending of delegations to the departments in order to reaffirm its position in the opposition and to work towards building an "ambitious and realistic alternative".
The party also intends to reorganize its structures following the departures from its ranks. "All those who have left the Party will be replaced without delay," states the National Executive Secretariat (SEN), which is simultaneously calling for the remobilization of activists.
