A new episode of internal tensions shakes the political party New Responsibilityled by former Prime Minister Amadou Ba. The former Minister of National Education and current MP, Cheikh Oumar Anne, announced his intention to prosecute Oumar Sow, an influential member of the coalition and political leader in Yeumbeul Sud. The complaint, which concerns accusations of defamation and insults, is expected to be filed today by his lawyers, according to information reported by Source A.
A dispute with uncertain political repercussions
This dispute comes against a backdrop of growing rivalries within the coalition. Oumar Sow, former minister-advisor to President Macky Sall, publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Cheikh Oumar Anne. In an incisive statement, he accused the latter of behaving like “powerful man” thanks to his financial means and his religious support, while denouncing the inaction of Amadou Ba in the face of what he perceives as « menaces ». “I am one of the founders of the New Responsibilitybut Cheikh Oumar Anne believes everything is allowed,” affirmed Oumar Sow.
What will Amadou Ba’s reaction be?
The question now arises as to whether Amadou Ba will intervene to ease tensions or whether he will let this conflict be resolved through legal means. As leader of the coalition, his role in managing this internal crisis will be decisive in preserving the unity of the party and avoiding a negative impact on its public image.
