Senegal’s Constitutional Council has declared itself without jurisdiction to rule on a challenge seeking to remove Ousmane Sonko from the National Assembly. The decision, issued on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, effectively ends the legal proceedings before the council regarding Sonko’s position. Following the verdict, MP Guy Marius Sagna voiced strong support for Sonko, criticizing opponents who have consistently sought to prevent him from holding political office. Sagna asserted that attempts to disqualify Sonko as a presidential candidate, prime minister, or parliamentarian have failed. He celebrated the outcome, stating that Sonko remains a deputy and President of the National Assembly, to the satisfaction of the people. The ruling comes amid ongoing political debate surrounding Sonko’s institutional status and future political trajectory.
