How Ousmane Sonko and Bassirou Diomaye Faye Could Still Reconcile

On November 7, Senegal’s National Assembly Finance Committee rejected the 2027 initial budget bill and all ministerial budgets, following the plenary rejection of the 2026 amended budget. Lawmakers cited numerical inconsistencies, doubts about the forecasts and missing documents, including the 2025 budget settlement law, amid political tensions between Ousmane Sonko and Bassirou Diomaye Faye. The government could seek a compromise through a revised bill, invoke Article 86 to make the government’s responsibility a matter of confidence, or dissolve the Assembly from December 2, 2026.
