Nouvel Élan Libéral (NEL)

ouvel Élan Libéral Nguir Senegal Bi Gueune" (NEL)—which translates to "A New Liberal Momentum for a Better Senegal"—is a political initiative and movement created by Moussa Diakhaté. The movement was launched in February 2025 by Moussa Diakhaté, who announced his departure from the Bokk Gis Gis party and his separation from mentor Pape Diop. NEL positions itself as a "new breath" (souffle nouveau) in Senegalese politics, aiming to move away from old political patterns. It is described as a liberal movement focused on youth leadership, addressing economic issues, and offering bold solutions for development. Diakhaté announced his intention to contest the municipal elections with the goal of taking leadership of the Dakar Plateau municipality. The movement specifically appeals to the youth to take control of the country's development, aimed at disillusioned citizens.
