A post by Fadilou Keita, an aide to Ousmane Sonko, has ignited debate in Senegal, calling for a “gentlemen’s agreement” that would see Sonko return to the Primature. This statement arrives during a tense period at the Assemblée nationale, as Prime Minister Al Aminou Lô delivers his Déclaration de politique générale. Keita’s message, deemed enigmatic, has prompted questions about a potential power shift within the government and the relationship between President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Assemblée nationale President Ousmane Sonko. Keita offered no further clarification, stating he would address it later. The timing of the post coincides with signals of tension within the presidential majority and uncertainty surrounding parliamentary support for the Prime Minister. This has fuelled speculation about power dynamics at the highest levels of Senegalese government.
