As the date of the next elections rapidly approaches, with the closing of the filing of lists, the local political arenas lighten up and/or darken. And the least we can say is that we are witnessing a plethora of suitors, even in the most remote corners of the country.
In M’Bagne, 5th department of Brakna, we registered at least 24 candidate lists. The various political parties, even those who were unknown to the village, have succeeded in presenting candidate lists and are determined to do battle to avoid disappearing and therefore to replenish their coffers.
Faced with this situation, the coordinator of the insaf executives of M’Bagne residing in Nouakchott – a platform for exchanges and sharing, is sounding the alarm and recalling that “respect for the word given to us is an essential value” . Allusion made to the efforts made to make this Moughtaa a stronghold of the ruling party. Indeed, recalls Me Sarr Yéro, last December, activists and executives of several political parties of the opposition and the majority who disputed the ground with the ruling party had joined INSAF, which opened up better electoral prospects for him in May. next. Significant awareness and mobilization work was carried out. An audience with the president of the party and a mega meeting celebrating these rallies was organized in M’Bagne on December 25, 2022. M’Bagne had finished falling completely into the hands of INSAF, it was thought. The commitment to translate these rallies into the victory of the party candidates was proclaimed.
But with the multitude of candidates for the candidacy and the choices made by the party, discontent and slings have reappeared at a gallop. The INSAF candidates must face 23 opposing lists, for a number of registrants of 22,377. All this for that, indignant Me Sarr who seizes the opportunity to remind all party members of their responsibility, inviting them to to prove that “in M’Bagne, respect for one’s word is not an empty word. We must prove to the party, even if some do not approve of some of its choices, that the commitment made by party officials, elected officials and executives to the party president must be reflected in the ballot box, because if our candidates lose , God forbid, it would be a scathing disavowal and the whole department will wait 5 years including a crucial year, that of the presidential election of 2024 to relaunch the battle”. A hypothesis that Me Sarr excludes to consider. And to add: “We must pull ourselves together while there is still time, to demonstrate – we are able to do so – that INSAF remains the main political force in the department of M’Bagne. »
