Madiop Diop déclare sa candidature à la Mairie de Dakar

It was during a meeting of municipal councilors from the Coalition Taxawu Senegal that Madiop Diop, mayor of Grand-Yoff since 2014, officially announced his candidacy for the head of the City of Dakar. This strong statement comes just days before the election of the new mayor of the Senegalese capital, scheduled for this Monday.

A well-known figure in the political landscape, Madiop Diop is an active member of Taxawu Senegal, the coalition founded and long led by Khalifa Ababacar Sall. He has been a key player in the movement's political victories, particularly in Dakar, where the coalition has maintained its influence in recent years.

Despite his past loyalty, the mayor of Grand-Yoff is now displaying a new ambition: to emerge from the shadow of Khalifa Sall and establish himself as a consensus candidate, capable of uniting all the political sensitivities represented within the Dakar Municipal Council.

The election of Dakar's new mayor is a major issue in Senegalese politics. With this candidacy, Madiop Diop could well reshuffle the cards within the Taxawu Senegal coalition, but also in the municipal arena more broadly.

    Madiop est en vérité un Maire bien debout dans ses bottes. Malgré certaines difficultés que l'on avoir avec lui , il est généralement un homme de courage et de principe. Nos prières et nos vœux l'accompagnent

    Dakar mérite un maire très intellectuel, pas une sorte de mystificateur traditionnel ou maraboutisant. Faut sortir absolument de l'ombre des griotistes pour retrouver des gens convenables, exposables à l'étranger, dans les grands forums et non grimés de grands boubous ou en baby lahad et qui sont de pensées libérées
