Senegal’s ruling “Diomaye President” coalition strongly criticized recent parliamentary amendments to a bill concerning presidential powers during a leaders’ conference on June 28, 2026. Mimi Touré, a spokesperson for the coalition, accused parliament of attempting to strip President Diomaye Faye of his constitutional prerogatives. The coalition views the changes as a deliberate effort to undermine the executive branch and potentially destabilize the government. Details of the specific amendments were not immediately available, but the coalition expressed firm opposition. This development signals growing tension between the executive and legislative branches of the Senegalese government. Further discussions and potential political maneuvering are anticipated as the situation unfolds. The coalition has vowed to defend the President’s authority.
