El Malick Ndiaye, President of Senegal’s National Assembly, has resigned from his post, describing the decision as a personal choice made in the country’s best interests.
“After deep reflection, matured in silence, responsibility, and a sense of duty to the state, I have decided to resign from my position,” Ndiaye said.
In a farewell statement, the outgoing parliamentary leader expressed profound gratitude to lawmakers from both the majority and opposition, the Bureau of the National Assembly, parliamentary administration, his staff, and the Senegalese people for “the trust, respect, and spirit of collaboration” he enjoyed throughout his mission.
Ndiaye also thanked members and supporters of the PASTEF party, pledging to continue serving Senegal’s democracy and national unity from outside the assembly.
