Dakar, March 12 (APS) – The newspapers received Tuesday at the Senegalese Press Agency (APS) are fully in the electoral fever with the campaign promises of the presidential candidates of March 24, the scenes of violence and the assurances of the brand new Minister of the Interior.
Launched on Saturday, the electoral campaign continues across the entire territory. The 19 candidates are attacking voters with their programs and promises.
”The candidates between spades and promises”, headlines Les Echos, emphasizing that Anta Bacacar Ngom asks the ”18 other candidates to say what they have done for the country, with their own means, like us”. Amadou Ba of Benno Bokk Yaakaar promises to resolve the water problem in the Mbacké area while Mahammad Boune Abdalllah Dionne proposes the creation of ”an inter-coalition with the republican and democratic bloc”.
Source A notes that the ”DiomayePresident” coalition, master of the streets, ”given its capacity for mobilization, did well yesterday in Pikine, in the suburbs of Dakar”.
”Idrissa Seck, following her meeting with the informal sector, promises firm support from the State to those who undertake businesses. Amadou Bâ, welcomed by a crazy crowd in Mbacké, promised heaven and earth to the populations of Mbacké: connection of Touba to Lac de Guiers, youth employment, Government Bank, everything goes,” adds the publication.
EnQuête speaks of ‘Operations of seduction’. ”Idrissa Seck promises substantial support for the informal sector. Aly Ngouille Ndiaye is committed to revitalizing the fishing sector. DiomayePresident displays his ambitions to change the management of natural resources. Boubacar Camara offers free education for children aged 6 to 25,” writes the newspaper.
In this waltz of promises, violence also “beats the campaign”, quips Le Quotidien, evoking clashes between activists of the Alliance for the Republic (APR) and those of the “DiomayePresident” coalition. ”After the Assainies Parcels, Pikine takes over,” says the newspaper.
But the daily Bës Bi notes that between candidates from the ”Yewwi askan wi” coalition, there have been ”no scenes of political fistfights since the start of the campaign”. ”They are bound by a non-aggression pact inspired by the terms of the charter of this coalition. Malick Gakou, Déthié Fall, Diomaye Faye (supported by Habib Sy and Cheikh Tidiane Dièye) are all once morest Amadou Ba”, notes the newspaper.
According to Vox populi, Makhtar Cissé, the new Minister of the Interior ‘reassures regarding strict respect for the rules of the game as a guarantor of peace and public order’.
Speaking during the handover ceremony with his predecessor Sidiki Kaba, promoted head of government, he invited ”the different political staffs in competition to refrain from any violent acts, remarks or behavior by not confronting each other only on the ground of ideas and programs that support them”.
Libération reports that ”the electoral materials have already been deployed”.
