The new regime in power in Senegal still struggles to convince a majority of the population. This is revealed by the report of the first quarter of 2025 on the socio -political dynamics of the country, published by the group of experts for innovation and economic and social research (Gires).
Carried out on a sample of 1000 people from the 14 regions of the country, the study shows that only 11.5 % of respondents consider current governance “very satisfactory”, while 23.3 % simply consider it “satisfactory”. In contrast, 46.8 % of Senegalese estimate that the government’s action is “average”, a sign of a still strong expectation in the ranks of the population.
This survey, consulted by the sun, specifies that the sample is mainly made up of men (59.11 %) against 40.8 % of women, and especially young people: 36.56 % are between 25 and 35 years old, and 21.33 % between 18 and 24, testifying to the decisive weight of youth in the political evaluation of the country. Another salient fact of the report: the promise of rupture, strongly brandished during the last presidential campaign, seems far from being held in the eyes of many citizens. Indeed, only 21.3 % claim to have observed a “total break” with previous practices, against 45.5 % which evoke a “partial rupture” and 25.8 % which do not perceive “no rupture”.
