The opposition bloc in Senegal’s National Assembly has taken legal action by filing a formal complaint with the Constitutional Council, contesting the reinstatement of Ousmane Sonko as a member of parliament.
This development follows closely on the heels of Sonko’s recent dismissal from his ministerial position, sparking renewed institutional friction. The opposition argues that his return to the legislative chamber violates established procedures and legal norms, particularly concerning the circumstances of his reinstatement after losing his government portfolio.
The move underscores the deepening political divide in Senegal, with lawmakers from opposing factions clashing over the interpretation of constitutional rules governing parliamentary membership.
