Modou mbacké bara dolly accuses ousmane sonko of being the greatest manipulator in senegalese politics
A blunt attack on the Pastef leader
The political atmosphere in Senegal remains highly charged over the constitutional reform and relations between various majority and opposition figures. This Sunday, Modou Mbacké Bara Dolly, former president of the PDS parliamentary group, harshly criticised Ousmane Sonko.
During a particularly combative statement, he labelled the Pastef leader as “the greatest manipulator on the political scene”, accusing him of contradictory positions and repeated baseless allegations.
Accusations on several sensitive matters
The former deputy particularly addressed several cases that have shaped Senegalese political debate in recent years, including the Adji Sarr affair, allegations concerning supposed payments of 10 million CFA francs to deputies, and the rumour of a public account estimated at 1,000 billion CFA francs.
According to Dolly, these claims were never proven. “The deputies never received the 10 million he spoke about. That was false,” he asserted, questioning the credibility of Ousmane Sonko’s past statements.
Questioning Sonko’s political consistency
Modou Mbacké Bara Dolly also accuses the current president of the National Assembly of renouncing some of his earlier positions. He believes Sonko’s political discourse has evolved to the point of contradicting his initial commitments.
He argues that the former prime minister gradually drifted away from the breakaway logic he once advocated to adopt a posture centred on his own political interests.
Revelations about past political relationships
The former PDS parliamentary official also touched on the relations between Ousmane Sonko and certain political actors from the past, claiming that exchanges occurred regarding potential electoral alliances.
He further contends that discussions involved Karim Wade in view of a presidential candidacy, while asserting that Sonko did not wish to see other Pastef figures run under the party banner.
The constitutional debate at the heart of tensions
Finally, Modou Mbacké Bara Dolly returned to the controversy surrounding the constitutional revision. In his view, the current debate goes beyond the sole figure of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and directly concerns the country’s institutional stability.
He believes that certain ongoing initiatives aim to profoundly modify the architecture of power, which he says he firmly rejects.
“It is not about Diomaye, but about the Constitution,” he concluded.
