Mimi Toure invites the Senegalese to fulfill their duty as citizens

Like several other political figures in Senegal, Aminata Touré carried out her civic duty this morning at the El Hadji Seck Faye school in the Kasnack district of Kaolack. The former Prime Minister and Pastef ally called on voters to mobilize.

“It is with great emotion that I return to this school, where I did my primary school, to carry out my civic duty. Things are going normally as usual in a calm manner. This is an opportunity to call on voters to come out en masse. It is too early to talk about participation rates of course. I really invite all citizens to come and carry out their civic duty because democracy also feeds on citizen participation so that the deputies who will be elected are elected by a broad base,” Mimi Touré immediately declared.

“At the end of the campaign we noted scenes of violence but I think that is behind us. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our security forces who have restored things. Senegalese democracy is a peaceful democracy. Those who come with a violent attitude are a slight exception,” she notes.
