It would ultimately be the news of the day instead of the amnesty bill. “The Council tears apart the Diamniadio consensus,” headlines Le EnQuête on Wednesday, March 6, 2024. The newspaper states that “the 7 Sages stand by their positions on the election date and the duration of the mandate.”
However, the article does not specify if the Council has chosen a new date. Or if they have accepted that President Sall will remain in office until his successor is installed or not, as he has decided to leave on April 2. There will therefore be no repeat of the election and the invalidation of Karim Wade’s candidacy will be maintained. It should be noted that the President of the Republic referred the matter to the Constitutional Council in the afternoon of the Monday after receiving the report on the national dialogue.
Thus, the Constitutional Council not only rejected the date of June 2 for the presidential election, but also maintained the invalidation of Karim Wade’s candidacy.
In addition, they confirmed the list of 19 validated candidates. The 7 Sages also maintained the end of President Macky Sall’s mandate for April 2nd.
