Senegal: Controversy Surrounding Electoral Code Reform Led by PASTEF

Former deputy Théodore Chérif Monteil expressed reservations about the electoral code reform initiated by the PASTEF group, highlighting its unilateral nature. The reform aims to amend articles L.29 and L.30 of law n°2021-35, redefining cases of ineligibility and introducing a maximum duration for registration bans. Monteil suggested that this reform should have been led by a government bill. No date for plenary examination has yet been communicated for this proposed law.
