Fadilou Keïta recounts his 18-minute conversation with Diomaye: “Never prevent Sonko from returning to the Assembly”

In an interview with Xalat TV, Fadilou Keïta says he spoke by phone for 18 minutes with President Bassirou Diomaye Faye about Ousmane Sonko’s return to the National Assembly. According to Keïta, the president told him that some people had advised him to prevent Sonko from reclaiming his parliamentary seat. Keïta says he opposed that idea, citing their shared history and the consistency of appointing technocrat Al Amine Lo as prime minister. He describes his intervention as an effort to ease tensions between the executive’s two leading figures.
