A total of 46 members of the national political bureau, including Abdoulaye Mossé, former deputy and Ousmane Nacro, former minister, have announced their resignation from the former presidential party, the MPP. Other departures are also announced in several other political parties. For analysts, the resigners simply want to take advantage of new political opportunities to reposition themselves.

About forty members of the political bureau have just left the ship of the former presidential party. Officially, some resigners do not give the reasons for their departure and just mention ” personal reasons “. ” The coup is a failure of the entire political class accuses one of the resigning members of the political bureau of the MPP (People’s Movement for Progress). ” We watched helplessly as the coup d’etat who overthrew Roch Marc Christian Kaboré “, he continues.
This ex-deputy maintains that the resigners opted for the formation of a new party with several officials or key personalities of the main political parties. ” We will merge and create a strong and solid party. We must avoid a second coup in this country “, says this source. ” Another wave of resignations will follow in the coming hours “, insists the interlocutor of RFI.
For the political scientist, Kassem Salam Sourwema, research professor at Thomas Sankara University, these resignations have a taste ” unhealthy and foul smelling “, because they want to clear themselves of the catastrophic management of the MPP, in particular of the security situation and all the embezzlement reported. “ They certainly intend to form a new politically virgin coalition to serve as a counter-power and position themselves for the future. “, explains the teacher-researcher.
