Assembly: The New Tools of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye Against Ousmane Sonko

President Bassirou Diomaye Faye cannot dissolve the National Assembly before December 2, 2026, due to constitutional restrictions. Relations between the government and Parliament are strained, with a deadlock caused by the rejection of several texts by the Constitutional Council. Until then, the government has tools such as the blocked vote and exceptional powers under Article 52 to govern without dissolution, while the Constitutional Council and referendums remain options for recourse.
