In Senegal, the Constitutional Council should soon announce the final results of the legislative elections of July 31st. According to the provisional results, the presidential coalition obtained 82 seats, followed very closely by the inter-coalition of the opposition Yewwi Askan Wi – Wallu Senegal with 80 seats – not allowing any of them to ensure a majority . The leaders of the two coalitions which have formed an alliance therefore met on Wednesday August 10 to announce that they had finally filed no appeal.

The figures of the provisional results given by the national commission of census of the votes are erroneous, repeated the leaders of the inter-coalition of the opposition.
Déthié Fall, national representative of Yewwi Askan Wi, announces that no appeal has finally been filed at the level of the Constitutional Council. “ It is not at the level of the Constitutional Council that these three deputies will be returned to us he says.
The inter-coalition has also announced that it will not participate in the election of members of the High Council of Territorial Communities, scheduled for September 4th.
Cheikh Tidiane Dièye, from Yewwi Askan Wi, explains the reasons: In the program of legislatures, it was clearly mentioned that if we are in the majority in the National Assembly, we would proceed with the dissolution of the HCCT. The Yewwi – Wallu coalition does not boycott an election but wants to remain consistent in its approach. »
The leaders also took the opportunity to propose to the three deputies from the small coalitions but also to the deputies of the presidential coalition Benno Bokk Yaakar, to join them in order to form a majority in the National Assembly.
