Presidential election in Senegal: four things to remember about the decision of the Constitutional Council. The Council considers that it is competent to rule on the appeals filed against the constitutional law passed by the National Assembly of Senegal on February 5.
This law is also contrary to an important principle: that of “ legal security and stability of institutions” The presidential election cannot take place beyond April 2, but the mandate of President Macky Sall expires on April 2. The date of February 25, 2024, initially selected for the first round of the presidential election, cannot be held.
