Ousmane Sonko Asserts Diomaye Faye Leads Senegal and Denies Any Conflict – La Nouvelle Tribune

Ousmane Sonko, President of the National Assembly, denied any conflict with President Bassirou Diomaye Faye in an interview with Al Jazeera. He described a normal distribution of roles: the president determines policy, the Assembly oversees. This statement comes after the Constitutional Council annulled a constitutional revision backed by Sonko, which aimed to bar an incumbent president from leading a political party. Sonko attributed perceived tensions to a small political group that lost.
