Senegal: Amid Deadlock Over the Amended Finance Bill, Aissata Tall Sall Proposes Dissolving the National Assembly

Aïssata Tall Sall, president of the APR parliamentary group, denounced the parliamentary majority’s blocking of the amended finance bill, saying Senegal faces an unprecedented situation. She proposed dissolving the National Assembly as a radical way to return the decision to voters. The APR also recommended that President Bassirou Diomaye Faye use Article 86 of the Constitution to make the government’s survival dependent on the budget and pass the bill. Tall Sall said that using this procedure would prevent another no-confidence motion from being filed before October 2027.
