Ousmane Sonko to Bassirou Diomaye Faye: "Recruiting mayors, trying to eliminate opponents..."

At his investiture as head of PASTEF at the Dakar Arena, Ousmane Sonko called on institutions to focus on Senegal's problems, implicitly criticizing the executive for recruiting mayors and trying to eliminate opponents instead of working for a second term. His statement comes after his dismissal as Prime Minister by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, reigniting tensions. Sonko also urged lawmakers to act solely for Senegal's interest and to organize transparent elections.
