The President of the Republic referred the matter to the Constitutional Council this Monday, July 6, 2026, to challenge the constitutional revision procedure adopted by the National Assembly on June 29, 2026. Maître Cheikh Ahmadou Ndiaye, counsel for the Head of State, filed a petition of unconstitutionality citing a "violation of the constitutional revision procedure of Law No. 18/2026." The petition includes an emergency declaration, requesting a review within eight days. The executive has provided supporting documents, including legal texts, official correspondence, bailiff reports, as well as audio and video recordings of the parliamentary debates to substantiate the grievances. The seven sages of the Constitutional Council now have one week to rule on the regularity of the parliamentary proceedings.
