On Monday, opposition lawmakers in Senegal formally filed a complaint with the Constitutional Council, seeking to block the reinstatement of Ousmane Sonko as a member of the National Assembly. The move follows his recent removal from the government, sparking fresh institutional friction.
The opposition contends that Sonko’s return to parliament is procedurally flawed and legally questionable. They argue that his reintegration as a deputy, despite losing his ministerial position, violates established norms and undermines the integrity of the legislative process.
This legal challenge reflects the deepening political divide in Senegal, where the reshuffling of the government has intensified debates over governance and representation.
