During the inauguration of Pastef’s new headquarters in Mbacké, party president Ousmane Sonko issued a strong appeal for unity among its political officials. He cautioned them against internal rivalries that could undermine the party’s momentum. Addressing the movement’s cadres directly, the Pastef leader emphasized that maintaining cohesion was essential for their future endeavors. 
 
Sonko acknowledged that personal ambition was not inherently negative but warned it becomes detrimental when it jeopardizes collective unity and the party’s operational effectiveness. Confident in his movement’s popular base, Ousmane Sonko asserted that Pastef remained robust, backed by the support of at least 70% of the populace. He concluded that the party faced no significant external adversaries. For him, the primary threat originated from within Pastef itself, prompting his strong emphasis on the individual and collective responsibility of its leaders. 
 
The President of the National Assembly urged officials to collaborate closely and confront upcoming challenges as a united front. He cautioned that should this unity falter, he would not hesitate to assume his responsibilities and make the necessary decisions, a statement that hinted at potential sanctions or internal restructuring.
