Ousmane Sonko’s National Assembly Seat Under Threat in Senegal

Ousmane Sonko : « Je n’utiliserai pas cette Assemblée, ni aucun député avec moi, pour mener des vendettas personnelles »

Ousmane Sonko is currently confronting a notable challenge concerning his seat within the National Assembly. A formal appeal has been initiated against his election, brought forth by a faction of non-registered deputies. This legal contestation, openly backed by the opposition, is generating substantial legal and political questions, and is poised to escalate existing tensions across Senegal’s institutional landscape.
