Popular Front (Senegal)

Ahead of the 1936 elections to the French National Assembly, a Popular Front committee was formed in Senegal. It consisted of the local branch of SFIO, the Senegalese Socialist Party, the local communist cell, Human Rights League and the local branch of the Radical and Radical Socialist Party led by François Carpot. The committee supported the candidature of Lamine Guèye.
