Senegal lawmakers elect ousted PM Sonko as new parliament speaker

Senegal's parliament has elected ousted prime minister Ousmane Sonko as speaker, a move that could give him a powerful platform to challenge President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. The president dismissed Sonko on Friday and dissolved the cabinet, ending months of speculation about a growing rift between the two over how to handle the country's debt crisis. Lawmakers rebelled by reinstating Sonko as a member on Tuesday and voting to elect him as speaker with 132 votes in favour.
