ECOWAS Parliament Speaker, Sidie Tunis

ECOWAS Parliament has dispatched a high-level delegation to Senegal to address the country’s simmering political crisis.

The mission, led by Speaker of the Parliament, Sidie Tunis, aims to de-escalate tensions and pave the way for a peaceful resolution.

This intervention comes in response to the controversial postponement of Senegal’s presidential election, originally slated for February 25th, to December 15th. The decision, met with fierce opposition protests and legislative disruptions, has raised concerns about threats to democracy and potential instability.

The ECOWAS delegation, comprising parliamentarians from across the sub-region, will hold crucial meetings with Senegalese authorities, political actors, and civil society representatives during their three-day visit to facilitate dialogue and encourage a peaceful return to the electoral process.

The African Union, AU has also weighed in, urging both the government and opposition to prioritise dialogue and seek a swift resolution through peaceful means.
