This declaration immediately triggered strong reactions, particularly from the Front pour la Défense de la Démocratie et de la République (FDR), which formally acknowledged the decision in a communiqué received by our newsroom.   The FDR coalition maintains that the Council's assertion of incompetence does not in any way legitimize what it denounces as an illegal act, labeling it a "forfeiture." The Front emphasizes that every citizen has a moral obligation to oppose this state of affairs, which it deems contrary to both ethical principles and the broader public good.   ...

The Alliance Jëf Jël party, under the leadership of Talla Sylla, has formally acknowledged decision n° 5/C/2026, issued by the Constitutional Council on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.

As a political entity deeply committed to the rule of law, Jëf Jël reiterates its unwavering respect for judicial pronouncements. The Constitutional Council's judgments are binding on all public authorities, as well as administrative and jurisdictional bodies.   However, Jëf Jël found it crucial to provide the following essential clarifications regarding this ...
