BREAKING: Pastef MPs Will Not Vote for the Amended Finance Bill

On 19 October 2026 in Dakar, Ousmane Sonko announced that Pastef MPs would not vote for the 2026 amended finance bill in its current form. He objects in particular to a proposed cut in petroleum product subsidies from 790 billion to 552 billion CFA francs and warns that it could raise prices for households.

The party’s opposition comes after President Bassirou Diomaye Faye requested priority consideration of the bill.
