Liberate the People (French: Libérer le peuple; Wolof: Yewwi Askan Wi, YAW) was a Senegalese political coalition led by Ousmane Sonko. The coalition was opposed to former President Macky Sall and allied against him with the Wallu Sénégal alliance led by the Democratic Party of Senegal.
The party participated in the 2022 local elections, winning in several major cities, including Dakar. After the 2022 national election the coalition became the second biggest in the National Assembly and the main opposition force against Macky Sall obtaining 56 seats.
