Constitutional Council: The case of Ousmane Sonko's reinstatement not completely closed

Senegal's Constitutional Council declared itself incompetent to examine a petition by 18 opposition deputies challenging the reinstatement of Ousmane Sonko as a deputy. The high court ruled that the dispute concerns an internal administrative matter of the National Assembly, beyond its electoral control strictly defined by Article 92 of the Constitution. This decision reopens the debate on possible legal remedies in Senegal.
