Ousmane Sonko sought to reassure the public about the state of his relationship with President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. In an interview with France 24 and RFI from Dakar, the Speaker of the Senegalese National Assembly firmly dismissed the possibility of a rift between the two men. "There will be no split," he insisted, as Senegal emerges from a political crisis that fueled speculation about a potential fracture at the highest levels of government.

A clarification after the turbulence

This clarification comes at a particularly sensitive time for the Senegalese government. Recent weeks have been marked by tensions that have raised fears of a deterioration in relations between the head of state and his former ally, now Speaker of Parliament. The meeting was clearly intended to put an end to the rumors circulating about a possible falling out between the two major figures on the Senegalese political scene.

Ousmane Sonko, who spoke at length on the subject, also addressed other aspects of the country's current political situation. His message was clearly intended to be reassuring, aimed at restoring confidence in the stability of the Senegalese executive and legislative branches. This public statement demonstrates a clear commitment to maintaining institutional cohesion despite recent turmoil.
