During a meeting held yesterday in Touba, as part of the “48 heures de PASTEF” event, Ousmane Sonko raised the specter of a no-confidence motion against the government led by Prime Minister Al Aminou Lo. The head of PASTEF made it clear that his political movement would not shy away from utilizing this parliamentary tool if it perceived that current policies and directions continued unabated.

“We will employ every legal means at our disposal, including the no-confidence motion, to bring down the government, and we will do so as many times as necessary,” Ousmane Sonko declared to his party’s supporters. The PASTEF president justified this resolute stance by asserting that his political organization cannot condone practices that contradict the fundamental principles for which its members have tirelessly fought.

“We have struggled for a decade, enduring sacrifices and honoring martyrs. We will not permit such practices to become entrenched,” he emphasized. Through this powerful statement, Ousmane Sonko positions the no-confidence motion as a central component of his party’s political strategy against the government. He views this parliamentary recourse as a legitimate avenue for opposing decisions he disapproves of, affirming PASTEF’s readiness to invoke it whenever circumstances demand.
