Senegal's opposition-dominated parliament on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, rejected a revised version of the national budget, leaving the West African country's budget in doubt. The opposition party Pastef, led by former presidential candidate Ousmane Sonko, voted against the revised bill, according to France 24. The revised budget is considered crucial to Senegal concluding a new programme with the International Monetary Fund. France 24 reported that the rejection leaves the enormous budget hanging in the balance, but the report gave no details on the vote count or on the government's next steps.
