The latter thought he was a deputy. Substitute for El Malick Ndiaye, head of Pastef’s list in Linguère during the legislative elections of November 17, Matar Bâ had “firm conviction that the former minister was going to resign from his post as deputy to remain in the government”, reports Source A, which tells the story of the young man’s misadventure.
Matar Bâ therefore put himself very early (too early) in the shoes of the parliamentarian. Installation of the new representatives of the people, d-day. White boubou, green-yellow-red scarf and deputy badge hanging on his chest, he presents himself to the National Assembly, hoping to be installed in the same way as the parliamentarians.
He must have been disillusioned when he learned that El Malick Ndiaye finally resigned from the government to keep his seat as deputy and, better, become president of the Assembly.
Source A wonders how such a mess could have arisen to the point that Matar Bâ found himself with a scarf and a deputy badge even though his installation had not been recorded. The newspaper declares that it has sought understanding from the person concerned. In vain.
