Aminata Touré Joins the Fray in a New Offensive Against Ousmane Sonko

The Kiiraay–Les Patriotes Républicains party, supervised by Aminata Touré, called a press conference for October 26, 2026, at the École d’art oratoire on the VDN, on the eve of the plenary examination of the supplementary finance bill. The 2026 bill was rejected in committee despite Pastef’s large majority, and Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo denounced obstruction. Kiiraay had already sided with the executive and challenged Pastef lawmakers, including over the hospital in Kaolack. At a previous press conference, Touré disputed Sonko’s accusations about her management of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council and claimed he had received 2 billion CFA francs in 2025 and 1.7 billion in 2026 from special funds; the article notes these claims are hers alone.
