Senegal President Faye Dissolves Parliament to Call Snap Legislative Election

Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has dissolved the opposition-dominated parliament, citing difficulties in working with the assembly. According to the constitution, new legislative elections must take place within 90 days. Analysts believe Faye's party has a high chance of securing a majority in the upcoming elections. The dissolution of parliament was announced on Thursday, with Faye stating that members had refused to discuss the budget law, making it difficult to work together. The new elections are scheduled to take place on November 17.
