"Siéger, c'est trahir la République" : l'ancien ministre Doudou Ka appelle au boycott de l'Assemblée
Former minister Doudou Ka has published a scathing text entitled "To sit is to betray the Republic." In this particularly aggressive piece, he denounces what he calls a "parliamentary coup d'état" and a "laboratory for constitutional circumvention."
According to him, the National Assembly is currently being illegally led by a man who is no longer a member of parliament, having failed to resign from the Prime Minister's office after the legislative election results were announced. He points to Constitutional Council decision no. 5/C/26, arguing that it highlights a major dysfunction leading to a "lawless state."
The former government member pulls no punches in his criticism of the current parliamentary opposition. He believes that by continuing to attend sessions, participate in debates, and vote against bills, opposition members are legitimizing and validating the very institution they claim to oppose. For him, this "critical conformism" amounts to political capitulation. That is why he is issuing a solemn call for a general boycott on Monday, June 29, 2026, asserting that a mass withdrawal is the only coherent way to strip this Assembly of its illusion of representativeness.
Doudou Ka also directs his criticism at major figures on the political scene. He accuses Ousmane Sonko of harboring a "sovereign contempt for the law since 2021" through acts that have gone unpunished. However, he attributes historical responsibility to Macky Sall's regime, blaming its "laxity" and "scheming" which, according to him, created what he calls an "institutional monster." The former minister also takes a swipe at his former political party, the APR, and its leader Macky Sall, reproaching them for their complicit silence and lack of clear directives, a far cry from the courageous break of 2008.
Looking to the future, the text takes the form of a manifesto for a political alternative. Doudou Ka directly addresses the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, urging him to choose respect for the Constitution over loyalty to his party leader in order to honor his oath to the nation. Believing that the current crisis demands a comprehensive "refounding" rather than mere reform, he calls for the emergence of a new political order. This future republican coalition, which he envisions, must bring together parties, civil society movements, and independent experts around a rigorous counter-proposal, free from any spirit of revenge.
