In a significant development this week, all 129 deputies present in the Senegalese National Assembly chamber unanimously endorsed a proposed constitutional revision. This pivotal legislation, championed by the Pastef party, is designed to enhance the authority of both the Parliament and the Prime Minister, while also redefining the powers of the President of the Republic. However, the coalition supporting the head of state, along with several opposition parties, alleges that this reform is specifically crafted to benefit Ousmane Sonko, the former Prime Minister who now holds the position of National Assembly President. This raises pressing questions: Are these accusations well-founded? What motivated President Bassirou Diomaye Faye to put this text to a national referendum? Is this merely a democratic consultation, or does it signify a calculated political strategy?
