In Senegal, early legislative elections will be held this Sunday, November 17, 2024. « It was against this backdrop that the And Bessal Sénégal (Together for a New Senegal) coalition, led by leader Abdoulaye Sylla, wrapped up its election campaign on Friday November 15 in the Dakar suburb of Keur Massar. The rally helped mobilize supporters around the movement’s commitments and priorities in the run-up to Sunday’s vote. It was an opportunity for Abdoulaye Sylla to stress the importance of a peaceful climate for these important elections, inviting his militants to vote for a new Senegal, and young people to become self-employed.
In Senegal, the « And Bessal Sénégal coalition », led by Abdoulaye Sylla, closed its campaign on November 15, 2024 for the early legislative elections with a vibrant rally in the Dakar suburb of Keur Massar. This event, marked by a strong mobilization of militants and supporters, was an opportunity for the coalition leader to launch a call for peace, serenity and hope, while addressing strong messages to the population, in particular the local youth.
I’d like to thank all the militants and supporters of And Bessal Sénégal. But above all, I appeal for appeasement so that Senegalese can vote in peace and serenity, without violence or divisions.
Abdoulaye Sylla, Head of the national list of the And Bessal Sénégal coalition
Abdoulaye Sylla also called on the people of Keur Massar to give their massive support to the And Bessal Sénégal list for the November 17 ballot.
Together, we can build a new Senegal, a country of prosperity and justice, where every citizen has a place and can realize his or her ambitions. I invite you to vote for a Senegal of tomorrow, stronger, more united.
Abdoulaye Sylla, Head of the national list of the And Bessal Sénégal coalition
Another highlight of the meeting was Abdoulaye Sylla’s appeal to the youth of Keur Massar. Stressing the importance of self-employment and determination, he encouraged young people not to wait passively for opportunities, but to take their destiny into their own hands.
To succeed, you have to employ yourself, forge your own path and dare to take action. I’ve never given out my CV to get a job, because it’s ambition and determination that open doors.
Barthelemy Dias , Head of the national list of the And Bessal Sénégal coalition
This appeal resonates particularly in a context where many young people in the region and throughout the country are finding it difficult to access employment and training. In the second quarter of 2024, the expanded unemployment rate reached 21.6%, up from 18.6% in the same period of 2023, according to ANSD.
