The Senegalese political landscape has been marked by a development within the Kiiraay party, led by President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye. Two press conferences, announced by the party's affiliated movements, have been cancelled due to internal disagreements. The press conferences were supposed to be held by the Mouvement national des Doomu Daara de Kiiraay (MONADD-KIIRAAY) and the Mouvement Doomi Daaray Kiiraay (DODAK).
The first press conference, initially scheduled for Thursday, was postponed to Friday, September 18. Abdou Karim Mbodji, MONADD-KIIRAAY's communication officer, stated that the postponement aimed to allow the two movements to reach an agreement. The goal was to show a united front in support of President Faye's vision and policies. However, the meeting still took place under tense circumstances at the party's headquarters.
On September 18, journalists gathered at the Kiiraay headquarters to cover the press conference, but it was ultimately cancelled. According to reports from Seneweb, tensions arose during a meeting held at the headquarters, although no official reason was given for the cancellation. This development has sparked concerns about potential divisions within the party.
The DODAK had also scheduled a press conference for September 18, following its general assembly on September 11. The movement is coordinated nationally by Amdy Moustapha Mbacké, while MONADD-KIIRAAY is coordinated by Imam Mamour Fall. The cancellation of both press conferences has raised questions about the party's internal dynamics.

As the situation unfolds, observers are watching closely to see how the party addresses its internal challenges.
