Amid Institutional Crisis, Electoral Deadlines and the Need for Dialogue (Ndiaga Sylla, Electoral Expert)

In Senegal, divisions within the parliamentary majority and recurring blockages in the National Assembly are complicating the prospect of dissolving it before the budget session ends. Electoral expert Ndiaga Sylla raises questions about what might follow a no-confidence motion, including reinstating the government or forming a national unity government, and whether early legislative elections could be held alongside municipal and departmental elections. He calls for calm debate, respect for institutions and electoral deadlines, and renewed dialogue led by social mediators.
