 Senegal's parliament speaker quits two days after prime minister sacked


Senegal's parliament speaker, El Malick Ndiaye, has announced his resignation, deepening political turmoil in the West African ‌nation two days after the president dismissed the government.


Ndiaye, a senior figure in the ruling ​PASTEF party, said ​his resignation was a personal decision, giving ⁠the "higher interest of the nation" as ​a reason for his departure, Reuters reported.


President Bassirou Diomaye ​Faye dismissed Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko on Friday and dissolved the government after months of mounting tension ​between the two leaders.


Members of parliament ​are set ​to convene ⁠on Tuesday to vote on reinstating Sonko as a lawmaker ​and to elect a new ​speaker ⁠for the National Assembly to replace Ndiaye.


Some critics say reinstating Sonko would be illegal ⁠as ​he has never been ​a member of parliament.
