The congress elected Senghor as its political director and
Mamadou Dia as the general secretary.[3][7][5]
On January 11 the same year BPS organized a meeting in Dakar, launching the
African Convention.[6] The Convention was intended to evolve into an all-
AOF party. The launching of the Convention was preceded by failed efforts of unity between BPS and the
African Democratic Rally (RDA). Senghor wanted the Convention to fill the role of a party corresponding to the Indépendents d'Outre-Mer parliamentary fraction that he belonged to.
