Ousmane Sonko clarifies Pastef’s internal disputes amid political tensions

During a parliamentary session this Friday morning, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko addressed ongoing internal tensions within his party, Pastef. Speaking before lawmakers, he firmly stated that internal conflicts within the movement cannot be resolved through decrees, pushing back against those attempting to exploit perceived divisions to undermine the government.

The statement comes as debates over party governance intensify, with some members advocating for stricter regulatory measures to manage disagreements. Sonko made it clear that such an approach would not only be ineffective but could further destabilize the party’s cohesion.
