Aminata Touré, a key figure in Senegal’s Kiiraay – Les Patriotes Républicains party, has decisively dismissed the recent calls for extending the presidential term from five to seven years. She affirmed the current constitutional limit of two consecutive five-year terms is “intangible” and not open for discussion. This statement comes in response to growing support within the ruling coalition, including religious and political figures, advocating for a longer presidential term. Touré's firm stance appears designed to halt the debate within her own party, where it had gained traction. She emphasized the importance of focusing on party development and expansion throughout Senegal and its diaspora. By stating the matter is settled, Touré is redirecting energy towards political mobilization rather than a potentially divisive constitutional change.
