The Coalition Diomaye Président has sharply criticized Ousmane Sonko’s recent remarks during a political rally in Mbacké, accusing the National Assembly President of fostering a climate of permanent confrontation rather than constructive dialogue.
In an official statement released on Monday, July 13, 2026, the presidential alliance condemned Sonko’s scandalous attacks on President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, labeling them as cryptic personal assaults that undermine Senegal’s democratic institutions. The coalition emphasized that Sonko’s rhetoric deviates from the responsibility and decorum expected of a high-ranking state official.
Diomaye Faye’s leadership was praised in contrast, described as marked by method, serenity, and openness, with a steadfast commitment to improving the welfare of Senegalese citizens. The alliance reaffirmed its unwavering support for the President, vowing to remain mobilized to ensure the success of the national transformation agenda.
The statement underscored the coalition’s firm rejection of Sonko’s confrontational approach, which it argued only serves to disrupt public order and hinder progress. By contrast, the presidential camp positioned itself as a force for stability and progress, advocating for unity over division.
