[HIGHLIGHTS] Presidential election in Senegal: the debate on the competence of the Constitutional Council is underway

The opposition plans to challenge the shift to December 15, 2024 voted by the majority in the Assembly. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and constitutionalist Ismaïla Madior Fall estimated on France 24 that the Constitutional Council did not have the possibility of taking up this question.

Another Senegalese specialist, Sidy Alpha Ndiaye, also an associate professor of public law and professor at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, has a completely different reading of the competence of the Council.
