Senegal’s Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko to Address Key Parliamentary Session

The National Assembly in Dakar is set to host a high-stakes session of parliamentary questions this Friday, May 22, 2026, where Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and his cabinet will face direct scrutiny from lawmakers. The announcement comes from El Malick Ndiaye, President of the Assembly, highlighting the legislature’s constitutional duty to oversee government actions.

This forum provides a critical platform for elected representatives to challenge the executive branch on pressing national issues. During the session, members of parliament will likely probe Sonko and key ministers on the economic climate, rising living costs, job creation, institutional reforms, and ongoing public policy initiatives. The exchange is expected to be both rigorous and constructive, reflecting the Assembly’s role in ensuring transparency and accountability.

Since assuming office in April 2024, Prime Minister Sonko has participated in four such parliamentary question-and-answer sessions. These engagements have become a cornerstone of Senegal’s parliamentary tradition, fostering a structured dialogue between the government and the people’s representatives.
