The Socialist Party of Senegal (French: Parti Socialiste du Sénégal, PS) is a political party in Senegal . It was the ruling party in Senegal from independence in 1960 until 2000.[1] In 2000, the party's candidate and previous incumbent president, Abdou Diof, was defeated by the leader of the Senegalese Democratic Party, Abdoulaye Wade.[2]

Ousmane Tanor Dieng has been the First Secretary of the Socialist Party of Senegal since 1996 and was the presidential candidate in 2007 and 2012. The best-known figure of the party was Léopold Sédar Senghor, the first president of Senegal. The Socialist Party of Senegal's goal is to work on the implementation of democratic socialism into Senegal's political atmosphere.[3] The implementation of democratic socialism includes the establishment of an open, democratic, and humanitarian society while preserving African identity.[3] Since 1976, the Socialist Party of Senegal is the official socialist party choice for the country.[2]

The Socialist Party of Senegal is a full member of the Socialist International. As of 2018, there were about 1.2 million party members.[3]
