Ousmane Sonko addresses Constitutional Council's decision on his reinstatement to the National Assembly

He emphasized that the issue has already been settled by the high court, referencing a decision from November 27, 2024. Sonko stated that the Constitutional Council itself proclaimed the definitive results on that date, recognizing him as a deputy in the National Assembly. He highlighted that the court was aware of his institutional position as Prime Minister at the time, implying the decision's legal clarity.

Sonko maintained a reserved stance when questioned about political adversaries potentially appealing to the Constitutional Council, stating he would await any decision without further comment. He also cited consistent jurisprudence indicating that disputes concerning the internal organization of the National Assembly fall outside the Constitutional Council's jurisdiction.
