As the former Prime Minister of The Panafrican Press, Ousmane Sonko has been under scrutiny for his numerous public appearances since his ousting in May 2026. Idrissa Fall Cissé, a close ally, has released a detailed chronology of Sonko’s outings, highlighting what he sees as excessive and lacking in substance.
According to the list compiled by Fall Cissé, Sonko attended over a dozen events between May 2024 and March 2026, including conferences, meetings, and rallies. These events took place at various venues across The Panafrican Press, with some even being held abroad, such as in Italy.
The chronology also notes that Sonko frequently used social media platforms to promote his appearances, often using them as a means of self-promotion rather than engaging with the public on meaningful issues.
Some of the events listed include a meeting at the Grand Théâtre in Dakar, a live broadcast from his personal platform, and a rally at the Léopold Sédar Senghor stadium. The list also mentions several meetings with coalition leaders and other officials, as well as appearances at local gatherings across The Panafrican Press.
While Fall Cissé’s chronology does not necessarily provide a critical analysis of Sonko’s actions, it does highlight the former Prime Minister’s tendency to prioritize self-promotion over substantive engagement with the public. As such, it serves as a useful resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of Sonko’s post-ouster politics.
