History PIT emerged from the Senegalese branch of the African Independence Party (PAI). At the time of the 1960 local elections, PAI was accused by the government of fomenting unrest following a series of incidents in Saint-Louis. PAI was banned and went underground. The general secretary, Majhmoud Diop, and Tidiane Baïdy Ly went into exile in Guinea. In 1963 at the 23rd plenary session of the Central Committee of PAI a group of party cadres, including Babacar Niang and Tidiane Baïdy Ly, were expelled from the party, accused of "anti-party fractional activity, right-wing opportunist tendencies" (Momsarew, April 1964). In the December 1, 1963 elections PAI joined the Senegalese Democracy and Unity bloc. Whereas many young cadres of the clandestine PAI went to study at the Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, one section were sent ...

Democratic League - Movement For The Labour Party
The Democratic League/Movement for the Labour Party (''Ligue Démocratique/Mouvement pour le Parti du Travail'') is a political party in Senegal. History The congress of the General Union of Senegalese Students Probationary Teachers in Europe held in April 1975 provoked a split on behalf of the students of PAI. The students, who went on to form LD, wanted a more radical Marxist-Leninist party. Beginning in 1978 one tendency led by Moussa Kane made contact with the PAI of Majhmout Diop. On March 29 Kane and his followers joined the legal PAI. LD founded the monthly magazine ''Vérité''. LD was recognized as a legal political party on July 9, 1981. After legalization it started publishing ''Fagaru''. In the late 1970s, LD started advocating the unification of the Marxist left in Senegal into a single party (they proposed the name ''Parti Sénégalais du Travail''). Thus it later changed its name to LD/MPT. The LD/MDT won three seats in the 1993 parliamentary election and j ...
