The initiative to support the candidacy of former Senegalese President Macky Sall for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations continues to attract support in Senegal.
In a message addressed to “dear compatriots”, the initiators of the project announced that since the announcement made on 3rd March, 2026 of the establishment of a support committee, more than a hundred personalities have expressed their willingness to join the initiative, reports Senegal7.
According to the promoters, this mobilisation now makes it possible to have a critical mass of actors engaged to form an initiative committee. Its mission will be to lay the foundations of the organisation, in an approach presented as “participatory and inclusive”.
The initiators also indicate that they have published a first provisional list of members. People who do not appear are invited to transmit their contact information in order to join a working group created on WhatsApp.
This space will be used in particular to discuss the vision, objectives and action plan of the support committee.
Those responsible for the initiative say they want to work “with method and rigour” to put in place the most appropriate organisational tool to achieve their goal, namely to promote Macky Sall’s candidacy for the head of the United Nations.
