Ousmane Sonko convenes National Assembly bureau after Constitutional Council decision

The meeting is scheduled for Friday, July 10, at 3 PM in the conference room of the National Assembly Presidency. The official summons, dated July 9, 2026, specifies the meeting details but does not yet outline the agenda. This convocation occurs after the Constitutional Council found that the procedure for adopting the constitutional revision text by the National Assembly did not comply with constitutional requirements.

Sonko had previously reacted to the decision by urging respect for the Constitutional Council's ruling, stating that "This decision is binding on everyone" and assuring that the parliamentary institution would continue its duties. The bureau meeting is expected to address the institutional next steps following this decision, which halts the constitutional revision process initiated by the deputies.
