Minister Serigne Guèye Diop announces National Assembly dissolution for December 2, 2026

Speaking on RFM during a political meeting with Kiiraay activists in Fatick, the minister justified this decision by citing what he called the current parliamentary majority's "sabotage" of presidential actions, specifically mentioning the rejection of the revised finance bill by deputies. He declared, "The President of the Republic will dissolve the National Assembly next December 2," and called for the mobilization of activists, stating, "It will be war like war." According to Serigne Guèye Diop, this early election aims to provide the government with a parliamentary majority that supports the implementation of its program.

He also urged party officials and activists to be patient, referring to the 2027 deadlines and future responsibilities, such as deputy positions, mayoralties, and general directorships, that might be entrusted to them.
