The Presidential election scheduled for March 24, 2024 may not take place according to Me El Hadji Diouf. The candidate of the Coalition “Me El Hadji Diouf for President” in the presidential election of February 25, 2024, who was rejected during the sponsorship process, has responded to the appeal filed by the PDS and its allies to nullify the election on March 24.

According to the lawyer, if justice prevails, the Supreme Court will nullify the decree convening the electorate. “The presidential election on March 24, 2024 will not take place. All jurists know well that the election cannot be held. If the Supreme Court is approached for a violation of the law, it will annul the decree for violation of the law,” said Me El Hadji Diouf. The lawyer believes that the Constitutional Council has exceeded its powers.

The Democratic Front for an Inclusive Election is not giving up. Yesterday (Monday), the collective went to the Supreme Court. This group, which includes candidates who feel they have been deprived, filed an appeal to annul the decree convening the electorate for the election on March 24.

The lawyer’s statement and the action by the Democratic Front show the ongoing legal and political challenges surrounding the upcoming election in Senegal. Stay updated for further developments on this issue.
