Sàmm Sa Kàddu (; SSK or just Kàddu) is a Senegalese political coalition led by the Mayor of Dakar Barthélémy Dias. The coalition was established ahead of the snap 2024 parliamentary election.
History The foundation of the Sàmm Sa Kàddu/Save Senegal coalition was announced on 23 September 2024 in a communiqué signed by the Party for Unity and Rally (PUR), Taxawu Sénégal, Alternative for Citizen Succession (ARC), The Servants / MPR, Republican Party for Progress (PRP), Generational Alliance for the Interests of the Republic (AGIR) and Gueum Sa Bopp parties.
Takku Wallu Sénégal became part of a broad anti-PASTEF "inter-coalition", along with two other colaitions: Takku Wallu Sénégal led by Macky Sall and Jàmm ak Njariñ led by Amadou Ba. The coalitions joined forces in almost all of Senegal's departments, forming joint lists.
On 23 October, Déthié Fall, leader of the Republican Party for Progress, announced that he was leaving the Sàmm Sa Kàddu coalition and joining the ruling PASTEF. After this, the leader of the women's wing of PRP left the party.
Ideology Sàmm Sa Kàddu positions itself as the "Anti-Sonko third way" and "constructive opposition and the only generational alternative to PASTEF". The coalition advocates for the renewal and rejuvenation of the Senegalese political class.
