Former minister Zahra Iyane Thiam has raised concerns regarding the stability of Senegal's National Assembly. In a recent social media post, she urged for a review of the status of deputies who resign from their parliamentary responsibilities mid-term. Thiam proposes that any lawmaker who steps down from a specific role should be barred from holding another legislative function during the same term, except for their basic mandate as a deputy. This suggestion follows previous internal rule changes that introduced sanctions for absent own members. She argues that public institutions should not be used as tools for political maneuvering. Specifically, she warns against "convenience resignations" and "musical chairs" tactics. Ultimately, Thiam asserts that the institutional stability of the Republic must be protected from political calculations.
