The Senegalese National Assembly has approved changes to the country's electoral code, ​introducing provisions that could pave the way ‌for Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko to run in the 2029 presidential election.

The legislation amends provisions that had previously disqualified Sonko from running for office, potentially removing a key legal ​obstacle to ​his candidacy. The ⁠bill will now be sent to the president, who must decide whether to ​sign it into law.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Amadou Camara Gueye, Journalist and geopolitical Analyst.
