Touba : Idrissa Seck reçu par le khalife général en compagnie de Serigne Moussa Naël Mbacké
On Sunday, February 22, 2026, former Prime Minister Idrissa Seck, leader of the Rewmi party, was received in Touba by the Caliph General, Sheikh Mountakha Bassirou Mbacké. He was accompanied by his friend, Serigne Moussa Naël Mbacké, with whom he had spent the day before his visit to the religious leader.
"On February 22, 2026 in Touba, something changed. The heart of Senegal beat faster. It was not just a visit, it was not a simple political trip. It was a thrill. A signal. An awakening," noted those close to the former president of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE).
According to Dr. Pierre Faye, "when Idrissa Seck sets foot on the soil of Touba, he does not come looking for a backdrop. He comes to reconnect with the soul of the country. Touba is not a city like any other. It is a moral compass, a spiritual center, a beating heart of deep Senegal. And that heart has heard."
One man, one ordeal, one determination
According to Dr. Faye, "they doubted him. They announced his end. They believed that silence meant abandonment. But great trajectories do not break in turmoil. They are reforged in adversity."
In his eyes, "Idrissa Seck returns with the maturity of the battles he has faced. With the lucidity of someone who has known the highs and the storms. With the quiet determination of someone who knows that time does not erase the vocation. He did not shout, did not gesticulate, he stood there, present, solid, aligned. And sometimes, presence is enough."
2029 begins in people's minds.
For those close to the former Prime Minister, "an election is not born in the year of the vote. It begins in minds, in family discussions, in markets, universities, Daaras, working-class neighborhoods. It begins when a people begins to believe again that an alternative is possible."
According to them, "February 22, 2026 rekindled a flame. Those who suffer from unemployment, those who worry about the future of their children, those who want a respected, stable, competent Senegal, saw that another path can open up."
"This is not a personal ambition, it is a national event. 2029 will not be a matter of ego. It will be a choice of destiny. Senegal will need experience, vision, unity. It will need leadership capable of calming without weakening, of reforming without dividing, of governing without humiliating," Idrissa Seck's supporters remain convinced.
For the political family of the former mayor of Thiès, "in Touba, it was not a question of a man facing a crowd. It was a meeting between a trajectory and a hope. The message is clear: nothing is decided, nothing is fixed. History remains open. And when a people decides to regain confidence, no political mechanism can stop it."
Dr. Pierre Faye concluded: February 22, 2026 was not an ordinary date. It was the first beat of a new cycle.
