Badio Camara, who responded to a question from a journalist in France during the “Nuit du Droit”, a platform for exchanges between legal professionals, in particular those who provide the public service of justice on a daily basis, publicly revealed the behind the scenes of a file submitted to the Seven Wise Men: the possibility of a third term for Macky Sall.
The Sages were contacted even though the question submitted to their authority has been resolved since 2016, underlines Walf Quotidien taken up by Seneweb.
« The layout [constitutionnelle] seems clear. There was a first term in 2012. A second or second term in 2019. A priori, it was over. Except that his supporters have agitated the idea, as he is a man who is indispensable to us, he must stay“, argued Badio Camara.
According to the President of the Constitutional Council, echoed by our colleagues, “ Macky Sall had resolved the problem, when a few months before the election, he solemnly declared in an announcement to the Senegalese Nation that he would not be a candidate in the 2024 presidential election and that he was not seeking a third term.« .
He adds that “ the opinion was given very quickly, very quickly, on the impossibility of running for a third term, taking into account the constitutional provision which resolves the problem and given the fact that the president had just served two consecutive terms« .
