Abdourahmane Diouf, the president of the Awalé party, took to social media to criticize his rival, Ousmane Sonko, after a heated exchange between the two at a recent gathering in Touba.
Diouf’s message was straightforward and unapologetic, accusing Sonko of lacking the intellectual rigor and leadership skills necessary for the role of president of the national assembly.
Diouf’s comments were a stark contrast to Sonko’s more conciliatory tone, which has been seen as an attempt to build bridges with his critics.
The tension between Diouf and Sonko has been building for weeks, with both men vying for control of the Awalé party and its influence in the national assembly.
