Ousmane Sonko clarifies reasons for separation from President Bassirou Diomaye Faye

Sonko stated that their disagreements stem from "questions of transparency and sovereignty," not from political differences or the President's creation of his own political party, Kiiraay. He emphasized that the President is free to create as many parties as he wishes. This clarification aligns with explanations Sonko provided in May during his dismissal from the Prime Minister's office.

At that time, the disagreement between the two executive leaders centered on the management of political funds. Sonko had publicly advocated for strict and transparent control over these resources, while the President favored maintaining a more discretionary management approach.
