Postponement of Elections in Guinea-Bissau: Dakar Reminds Bissau of Its Commitments

Following the announcement of the postponement of the December 6 presidential election in Guinea-Bissau, Senegal responded by emphasizing the importance of adhering to a consensual, inclusive, and transparent electoral calendar. As the current holder of ECOWAS presidency, Dakar calls for the lifting of restrictions on political and civil activities, which have been imposed by the military since November 2025. The Senegalese government urges a constructive dialogue among political, social, and military actors to ensure a swift return to constitutional order, warning against an indefinite extension of the transition without an agreed framework.
