Alioune Sarr, a former minister under Macky Sall, plans to run in the next presidential election in 2024, despite the unfavorable opinion of his mentor, the former president of the National Assembly Moustapha Niasse.
Within his party, Alioune Sarr cannot count on the support of major leaders like Malick Diop or Mbaye Ndione, and he is the only one to have a divergent voice. Some believe that his candidacy would be motivated by his opposition to a new candidacy of Macky Sall and his exit from the government.

APR leader says Alioune Sarr is not backed by any senior AFP official and has been ousted from government for political reasons, meaning he poses no real threat to power in place.
In short, the candidacy of Alioune Sarr seems to be a risky bet. He does not have the support of his own party or that of those close to Macky Sall. Even if he can count on the rural community of Notto Diobass, that will not be enough to guarantee his victory. However, his candidacy could have the merit of making a divergent voice heard in the Senegalese political debate.
