Dakar — During a high-stakes parliamentary session this morning, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko took a definitive stance on the escalating internal tensions within his party, Pastef. Speaking before the National Assembly, he made it clear that disputes within the movement cannot be resolved through administrative decrees, pushing back against attempts to exploit internal divisions to undermine the government’s authority.
The Prime Minister’s remarks came as a direct response to growing speculation and political maneuvering that sought to amplify fractures within Pastef. By dismissing the idea of resolving conflicts through regulatory measures, Sonko underscored the party’s commitment to addressing differences through internal dialogue and democratic processes rather than bureaucratic interventions.
His statement also served as a warning to those attempting to leverage perceived weaknesses within the party for political gain. By framing the issue as a matter of principle, Sonko reinforced the idea that Pastef’s unity must be preserved through collective decision-making, not unilateral decrees.
