2026 Amended Finance Bill: Pastef Votes Against in Committee, Takku Wallu Abstains

The Pastef-Les Patriotes parliamentary group was the only group to vote against the 2026 amended finance bill in committee after two days of deliberations. Deputies from Takku Wallu Sénégal abstained, while Pastef raised concerns about the government’s budget decisions. The parliamentary majority is calling for public investment and social spending to be preserved, household purchasing power to be protected, and greater transparency about debt and budget choices. The bill is due to be considered by the full assembly next Tuesday.
