Electoral Code Reform: Barthélémy Dias Decides for the Dakar City Hall

Barthélémy Dias has reiterated his decision not to return to the Dakar city hall, despite the ongoing debate over the electoral code reform. He stated that even if the new law were retroactive, it would not change his position, as he wishes to preserve his political dignity. Legal experts believe that recent amendments could allow him to benefit from retroactivity, following the reclassification of his murder charges to involuntary manslaughter.
