Dissolution of the Assembly: President Bassirou Diomaye Faye Faces a Major Problem

President Bassirou Diomaye Faye faces a crucial decision to dissolve the National Assembly on December 2, 2026, but his party Kiiraay, still poorly established, struggles to gain ground against the well-organized Pastef, which has a strong nationwide presence. Dissolving the assembly could lead to legislative elections within 60 to 90 days, but the president faces a dilemma between losing quickly or risking slow decline. Kiiraay's mobilization remains limited compared to Pastef, which has a significant presence across all departments and is actively selling membership cards.
