Jàmm ak Njariñ (; ) is a Senegalese centre-left political coalition led by former Prime Minister and 2024 presidential candidate Amadou Ba, who is also the leader of the New Responsibility party. The coalition was established ahead of the snap 2024 parliamentary election.
History The Jàmm ak Njariñ coalition was formed on 24 September and presented on 25 September 2024. The coalition consists of about 30 left-wing parties, the largest of which are the Socialist Party of Senegal (PS), the Alliance of the Forces of Progress (AFP), the Democratic League (LD/MPT) and the Party of Independence and Labour (PIT).
Jàmm ak Njariñ became part of a broad anti-PASTEF "inter-coalition", along with two other colaitions: Takku Wallu Sénégal led by Macky Sall and Sàmm Sa Kàddu led by Barthélémy Dias. The coalitions joined forces in almost all of Senegal's departments, forming joint lists.
Ideology The coalition, by its own statements, claims to be a "plural left". The coalition, which opposes the PASTEF government, says it wants to "promote the principles of peace, democracy, respect for institutions, calm and tranquility".
