Parliamentary inquiry commissions: Doudou Ka criticizes the government and the opposition and demands the dissolution of the Assembly

The Executive as well as the opposition are today logically facing the consequences. This is the assessment made by Doudou Ka, president of the Party for Great Senegal (PGS), following the hearings in the parliamentary inquiry commissions. For the former minister under Macky Sall, the actors of all sides should only take responsibility for themselves. In a statement, he recalls that these commissions stem from an Assembly installed illegally since May 26, 2026, the date on which his presidency would be exercised in violation of Article 54 of the Constitution. A situation that he calls without reservation a "parliamentary coup d'état". Doudou Ka points to the responsibility of the various stakeholders. In his view, the head of state failed by choosing to let things happen, when he had the constitutional prerogatives to prevent this perfidy. He believes that by choosing to participate in the debates instead of following the call for boycott and republican resistance, the opposition legitimized "this parliamentary coup d'état" and cannot be surprised by the consequences today. The president of the PGS denounces the abuses of the National Assembly under the leadership of the former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. By venturing into the field of judicial power without being prepared for it, it crosses the red line. "It is no longer control, it is the instrumentalization of institutions. Transparency is not a magic word that justifies everything," he expressed displeasure. Faced with this institutional impasse, Doudou Ka urges all oppositions to break ranks with this legislature. "Have the courage to permanently boycott this Assembly, to provoke its dissolution, and to impose an early election in 2027," he stressed. Doudou Ka supports that dissolution should no longer be a simple discretionary prerogative of the head of state, but an unavoidable political requirement. For him, "remaining in the National Assembly means condoning the perfidy of the former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and preparing for the next victory of the PASTEF." Estimating that the institution no longer reflects the diversity of the Senegalese people, he calls for a return to the polls. A new elected Assembly will thus be able to place the inquiries commissions in a legitimate and inclusive framework, relying on the reports of the Court of Accounts and the IGE. Doudou Ka concludes by recalling that "the people must have the last word and they must have it now."
