Ousmane Sonko maintains his grip on the National Assembly following a landmark constitutional verdict. Senegal’s top court dismissed opposition challenges to his return to parliament, affirming its inability to intervene in the matter—an irrevocable decision.

Dismissed as Prime Minister in late May by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, Sonko swiftly reclaimed his parliamentary seat before ascending to the Assembly’s top role.

The ruling solidifies his dominance in the legislative branch and amplifies his political clout across Senegal.

Once united by a shared vision, Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko now face widening rifts over economic policies and fiscal governance, signaling a transformative chapter in Senegalese politics.
