Presidential Election: President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's Truths on Ousmane Sonko's Eligibility

President Bassirou Diomaye Faye commented on Ousmane Sonko's eligibility, stating that Sonko had voted in November 2024 and had been elected, which should not be an issue. He expressed confusion over the parliamentary decision to urgently adopt amendments to the electoral code, which were passed by the National Assembly with 128 votes. These amendments are seen by the opposition as a reform aimed at favoring certain candidates for the 2029 presidential election.
