Senegal president Faye to call referendum on constitutional reform limiting his powers

Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is set to hold a referendum on a constitutional reform that would shift power from the presidency to parliament and the prime minister. The National Assembly has already approved this change, although it was met with opposition attempts to disrupt the session. This move could significantly alter the balance of power in Senegal, potentially reducing presidential authority and increasing parliamentary influence, which could have broader implications for governance and political stability in the country.
