On June 17, 2026, Senegal's Constitutional Council declared itself incompetent to rule on the challenge against Ousmane Sonko's seat in the National Assembly. In response, MP Guy Marius Sagna defended Sonko on social media, stating that those who opposed Sonko's presidential candidacy, his prime ministership, and his role as deputy have failed. Sagna emphasized that Sonko remains a deputy and President of the National Assembly, to the delight of the people.
