Senegal parliament holds first session since snap election: Video

Senegal's parliament convened for its first session on December 2, following the recent legislative elections in which the ruling PASTEF party achieved a landslide victory. Against its low representation in the initial parliament, PASTEF had 130 seats out of 165 in the 15th legislature. Before the session officially began, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko announced that he would continue to lead the government instead of presiding over the parliament.
