Sonko clarifies internal party conflicts at national assembly

During a heated session of parliamentary questions this Friday morning, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko took a definitive stance on the internal divisions plaguing his party, Pastef. Addressing lawmakers directly, he emphasized that internal disputes within the movement cannot be resolved through administrative decrees, pushing back against attempts to exploit perceived fractures to weaken Senegal’s leadership.

With unwavering clarity, Sonko dismissed the notion that regulatory measures could mediate the challenges facing Pastef. His remarks came as a clear warning to those within and outside the party who might seek to leverage internal tensions for political gain, reinforcing his commitment to addressing discord through dialogue and collective decision-making rather than top-down directives.

The Prime Minister’s intervention underscores the delicate balance between maintaining party cohesion and navigating the expectations of a diverse political landscape in Senegal.
