Réforme du Code électoral : Bacary Diédhiou (Député PASTEF) tacle sévèrement le Palais !
In a sharp analysis, the Honorable Bacary Diédhiou highlights the gap between Parliament's will and the Palace's hesitations. Caught between "strategic ambiguity" and "avoidance," the MP questions the government's sincerity regarding democratic challenges. The debate on amending the Electoral Code has thus taken on the character of an institutional power struggle. For Inspector and MP Bacary Diédhiou, this situation reveals a "subtle but real tension between institutional logics." According to him, behind the display of a shared ambition lies a profound divergence in approach.
A missed opportunity with public speaking
The parliamentarian recalls that the National Assembly initially demonstrated "remarkable institutional restraint" following the presidential address of December 31, 2025. The Head of State had then pledged to submit a bill before the end of the first quarter. However, the deadline has passed, and the assessment is disheartening. "The executive branch has not honored its commitment," criticizes the Honorable Diédhiou.
He highlights a crucial procedural point: instead of the promised bill, only a preliminary draft, not yet approved by the Council of Ministers, was produced. This substitution, he believes, is far from insignificant. "Why announce a bill only to then hide behind a preliminary draft?" he asks, seeing in it a possible avoidance strategy or the expression of internal hesitations.
Faced with what he calls the Executive's silence, Bacary Diédhiou defends the National Assembly's stance, which, for the sake of consistency, has taken the parliamentary initiative. By agreeing to temporarily suspend the examination of the amendment to Articles L.29 and L.30, the members of parliament have, according to him, demonstrated a "rare institutional willingness." "The legislative branch, paradoxically, appears more faithful to republican ethics than the executive itself," he asserts forcefully.
The specter of political opacity
For the MP, this lack of transparency from the Executive branch is not without consequences. In an already fragile political context, "the Executive is not only missing an opportunity to strengthen trust, but is also fueling suspicions," he laments. For Bacary Diédhiou, the issue now transcends the purely technical realm to become purely political. He directly challenges the authorities on their true intentions: is it a matter of "buying time" or of "maintaining a zone of uncertainty conducive to strategic adjustments"?
In conclusion, the elected official warns that this stance "undermines the clarity of public action" and directly clashes with the principles of transparency essential to democratic legitimacy. The message is clear: democracy demands clarity, whereas the Executive branch seems, for the time being, to prefer secrecy.
