Is Aida Mbodj still a member of the Pds?

The former Minister of Women under the magisterium of Mr. Abdoulaye Wade has been voiceless for some time. Her silence is all the more intriguing than a famous lady of fire and iron, she seems to be miles away from the maneuvers that punctuate the political life in the direction of the election of 2019. A policy is never as dangerous as when it is silent, they say.

The last time she spoke came back to the heated debate over the sponsorship bill, which was passed as a letter despite the fierce opposition of Macky Sall's opponents. It is as if the leader of the National Democratic Alliance And / Saxal Liguey is struggling to break out of the Ramadan media break that it has imposed.

Thus, the former mayor of Bambey, who has been a leading actress of two slingshots that shook the Senegalese Democratic Party between 2015 and 2017, is back after being beaten in her commune in the last legislative elections. On the eve of these elections, she was suspected of having drawn closer to power. According to the prosecution, she, like the animators of "Mbolom Wade", would have received financial support from the government to participate in these legislative elections. If no formal evidence supports such suspicions despite the revelations of Clédor Sène, it is none the less true that given the complicity that existed, under the Wade era, between Prime Minister Macky Sall and the then Minister of Women, the current head of state will spare no effort to have at his side that which was anticipated by his supporters, substitute candidate of the Pds in case of impediment Karim Wade in the presidential election of 2019.

In any case, apart from Habib Sy, who created his own party and Samuel Sarr, who is playing a double game between the government and the opposition, Aïda Mbodj remains the only great rebel of the Sopath party not to cross. the Rubicond to join Benno Bokk Yakaar. Otherwise, from Mamadou Lamine Keïta to Modou Diagne Fada, via Pape Samba Mboup and Farba Senghor, they are all, today, in the camp of power. The last two named were excluded from the Pds. Party that, until now, has not pronounced on the case Aida Mbodj. Does this mean that it still retains its chances to reposition itself if Wade-son's candidacy is invalidated?
