Djibo Leyti Kâ (21 February 1948[1] – 14 September 2017)[2] was a Senegalese politician and the Secretary-General of the Union for Democratic Renewal (URD).
[8] Subsequently, on November 19, 1997, Kâ and ten other leading members of the Movement were suspended from the PS for three months by the party's Political Bureau.
[11] The government also restricted him from travelling outside of Senegal, but the actions taken against him had the effect of raising his national profile greatly, and he was thus able to find more candidates to run alongside him in the May 1998 parliamentary election.
[12] His newly formed Union for Democratic Renewal (URD) received about 13% of the vote and won eleven seats in the National Assembly in that election.
[19] Kâ, speaking in the National Assembly on August 8, 2007, urged the creation of an African coalition to work against the effects of rising sea levels caused by global warming.
The parties that had supported Wade performed poorly in the July 2012 parliamentary election, but Kâ nevertheless won a seat.
