Responsible for supervising the organization of early legislative elections in Senegal, the Minister of the Interior spoke briefly to the press after having fulfilled his civic duty on Sunday, as part of the early legislative elections.
“Since the decision to organize these early elections, everything has gone as planned. It is a process consistent with the planning that was done,” said Jean-Baptiste Tine, retired gendarmerie general co-opted into the first government of the Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko tandem.
The minister praised the peaceful climate observed in the various voting centers, stressing that “calm, serenity and discipline” reign everywhere.
Jean-Baptiste Tine also expressed the hope of a strong mobilization of citizens for an exceptional participation rate. “We hope that participation will be massive and that at the end of this process, we will have made further progress in perfecting our democratic system,” he declared.
This Sunday, Senegalese voters continue to go to the polls to choose from 41 lists the representatives of the National Assembly, in a context marked by major political issues between the new power embodied by the Pastef party and the various oppositions grouped around ex-president Macky Sall, his former Prime Minister Amadou Ba and the mayor of Dakar Barthélémy Dias.
