## Resource

Senegal’s top court has nixed controversial constitutional amendments pushed by the ruling Pastef party, declaring them unconstitutional and blocking a key provision that would have barred the sitting president from running a political party — a move that directly clashes with President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s own plans. The amendments, passed by parliament in June, were seen as an attempt by Speaker Ousmane Sonko to consolidate power after being ousted as prime minister — a move Faye himself had requested the court review for procedural flaws. Sonko, while respecting the ruling, has added another twist to the escalating political drama that could impact Senegal’s fragile debt negotiations.
