Code électoral : Le groupe Takku Wallu Sénégal sursoit à son recours devant le Conseil constitutionnel
In an official statement released on May 5, 2026, the opposition parliamentary group Takku Wallu Sénégal announced a major change of strategy regarding the new law amending the electoral code. While it had initially expressed its intention to file a constitutional challenge with the Constitutional Council following the vote on Articles L.29 and subsequent articles, the group ultimately decided to reverse course. This sovereign decision to "postpone filing a claim with the Constitutional Council" comes after a thorough analysis of the current political context and recent statements by the Head of State.
The parliamentary group justifies this reversal by its desire to avoid getting involved in the turmoil within the presidential camp. According to the statement, this position stems from a categorical refusal "to interfere in the internal tensions shaking the ruling party" and to take part in partisan squabbles that could overshadow the nation's best interests. The members of parliament from Takku Wallu Sénégal believe that the President's public statement announcing a series of upcoming measures concerning these same legislative provisions has changed the political landscape.
By forgoing this recourse, the group affirms its desire to leave "the majority to face its own responsibilities and the consequences of its legislative initiatives," while ensuring that it maintains increased vigilance on the preservation of Senegal's democratic achievements.
Despite this strategic withdrawal from the legal sphere, the parliamentary group strongly reaffirms its determination to play its role as a counterweight within the National Assembly. The document concludes by emphasizing the firm commitment of the opposition members to "steadfastly pursue their work of constructive opposition and republican vigilance within the National Assembly."
