  • Sonko was imprisoned last week in preparation for criminal proceedings relating to charges of incitement to insurrection and conspiracy against the state. He had previously been convicted in a separate case of corrupting youth.
  • Sonko's supporters believe that the charges against him are politically motivated efforts by the government to undermine his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.
