Threats by Ndoffène Diouf against Ousmane Sonko: Pastef launches a counteroffensive (statement)

In a statement published on October 28, 2026, Pastef-Les Patriotes accused Arona Coumba Ndoffène Diouf, a member of the governing party Kiiraay, of publicly urging party officials to carry out a plot to eliminate Ousmane Sonko, president of the National Assembly. Pastef described the reported remarks as serious threats and called on Dakar’s public prosecutor to intervene, saying they could constitute an attack on state security. The party also appealed to President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye and demanded strict enforcement of the law. The allegations are those made in Pastef’s statement and do not prejudge any judicial findings.
