Election Management: How the Supreme Court Handed Everything Over to Bassirou Diomaye Faye

The Supreme Court rejected the request from the Noo Lank Collective regarding the postponement of local elections, stating that no administrative decision had been made by the Executive. President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is now solely responsible for deciding whether to hold or postpone the territorial elections, scheduled for no later than January 27, 2027. This decision has sparked criticism, with some accusing the president of violating the law by delaying the electoral process.
