Manko Taxawu Sénégal
The Manko Taxawu Sénégal coalition is a group of several political parties organised to contest the 2017 Senegalese legislative elections. The coalition was originally intended to form a unified opposition list to challenge President Macky Sall's Benno Bokk Yakaar coalition, but negotiations among key opposition figures broke down over disputes on whether former President Abdoulaye Wade or imprisoned former Mayor of Dakar, , would head the list.[1] Wade instead led his own coalition, Mako Wattu Senegal, into the election.
The coalition was organised and principally led by , who broke away from the Socialist Party, and former Prime Minister Idrissa Seck.[2] The coalition came third in the 2017 parliamentary election, winning 7 seats.[3]
