- Frame 1Speaker El Malick Ndiaye quit after Faye dismissed Sonko and dissolved the government.
- Frame 2The empty chair could give Sonko a return route through a PASTEF-majority parliament.
- Frame 3Ndiaye framed the resignation as duty after months of tension between Faye and Sonko.
- Frame 4Deputies were summoned Tuesday to reinstate Sonko as an MP and elect a new speaker.
