Senegal’s prime minister set to face lawmakers in fifth Q&A session

The Prime Minister of Senegal, Ousmane Sonko, is scheduled to appear before the National Assembly this Friday, May 22, 2026. The session will mark his fifth time addressing lawmakers during the government’s Questions to the Government segment, a key parliamentary mechanism for scrutinizing executive actions.

This interactive forum allows deputies to directly question the Prime Minister and cabinet ministers on pressing national issues, ensuring transparency and accountability in governance. Since assuming office in April 2024, Sonko has consistently engaged with legislators through these sessions, reinforcing his government’s commitment to open dialogue with the Assembly.

As the session approaches, political observers anticipate a rigorous exchange of views, with opposition and ruling party members alike seeking clarity on policy decisions and implementation challenges. The Prime Minister’s presence underscores the importance of parliamentary oversight in shaping Senegal’s political landscape.
