Senegal's parliament speaker El Malick Ndiaye resigns amid political crisis
El Malick Ndiaye, speaker of Senegal's parliament and ally of sacked Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, announced his resignation on Sunday. The move comes two days after President Bassirou Diomaye Faye dismissed Sonko as prime minister following months of mounting tensions between the two former allies. Ndiaye's departure potentially clears the way for Sonko, whose Pastef party holds a parliamentary majority, to run for the speaker position.
