The growing rift between President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko has taken a dramatic new turn.
Sonko has revealed that he held lengthy discussions with President Faye over the formation of a new government. As the leader of the parliamentary majority, Sonko expected his party, PASTEF, to play a central role in the new cabinet. However, according to Sonko, the proposals he presented were rejected by the president.
The result? PASTEF, despite holding a majority in Parliament, will not participate in the government.
This marks a significant escalation in the tensions between the two leaders who once stood side by side in their fight for political change. With the executive branch and parliamentary majority now seemingly pulling in different directions, questions are emerging about Senegal’s political stability and its ability to tackle pressing economic challenges. growing rift between President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko has taken a dramatic new turn.
