National Assembly: Dissolution Raised Following Ousmane Sonko’s Election
· SeneNews

The prospect of dissolving the National Assembly has been raised by SeneNews following the election of Ousmane Sonko as president of the institution.

According to information published by the outlet, Ousmane Sonko received 132 votes out of 165 in the vote, which was described as controversial. SeneNews believes that the election altered the balance of power and heightened tensions between institutions.

No official decision mentioned

In its subscriber-only article, the outlet considers a parliamentary dissolution increasingly plausible. However, the accessible information mentions neither a formal decision to dissolve the Assembly, nor an officially launched procedure, nor a timetable.

The available information therefore establishes that this possibility is put forward in SeneNews’s analysis, but does not confirm that a dissolution has been decided or announced.
