History
editThe Jàmm ak Njariñ coalition was formed on 24 September and presented on 25 September 2024.[3] The coalition consists of about 30 left-wing parties, the largest of which are the Socialist Party of Senegal (PS), the Alliance of the Forces of Progress (AFP), the Democratic League (LD/MPT) and the Party of Independence and Labour (PIT).[4][5][6]
Jàmm ak Njariñ became part of a broad anti-PASTEF "inter-coalition", along with two other colaitions: Takku Wallu Sénégal led by Macky Sall and Sàmm Sa Kàddu led by Barthélémy Dias. The coalitions joined forces in almost all of Senegal's departments, forming joint lists.[7][8]
Ideology
editThe coalition, by its own statements, claims to be a "plural left".[3] The coalition, which opposes the PASTEF government, says it wants to "promote the principles of peace, democracy, respect for institutions, calm and tranquility".[9]
