Réforme L29-L30 : le Parlement défie Diomaye Faye
Despite the controversy surrounding this initiative - perceived as a tailor-made law to allow Ousmane Sonko to regain his eligibility, lost following his conviction for defamation in the case opposing him to Mame Mbaye Niang - the proposed law amending articles L29 and L30 of the Electoral Code, introduced by the Pastef parliamentary group, is now in the circuit.
According to Les Échos, the National Assembly has decided to "go for it". Under the leadership of the President of the National Assembly, El Malick Ndiaye, the bureau officially declared the so-called "Ayib Daffé" proposal admissible, thus giving the "go-ahead" to the legislative procedure.
The text must now be sent to the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, for his opinion, who has ten days to respond. However, his role appears to be more advisory than decisive. Indeed, whether his response is positive or not, "it will not prevent the members of parliament from continuing the procedure." Furthermore, if there is no response after the deadline, this lack of reply is interpreted by the parliamentarians as a "favorable opinion," the same source clarifies.
Finally, the newspaper adds, even the promulgation stage is not an "insurmountable obstacle." In the absence of an appeal to the Constitutional Council, the Speaker of the National Assembly has the necessary prerogatives to proceed with promulgation himself if the Head of State refrains from doing so. This situation illustrates the newspaper's observation that "the President of the Republic, however powerful he may be, can do nothing against a parliamentary majority."
