Nouveau président du Conseil constitutionnel : ce que prévoit la loi sur la durée du mandat de Ousmane Diagne
Following the death of Mamadou Badio Camara on April 10, 2025, the position of President of the Constitutional Council became vacant. Former Minister of Justice Ousmane Diagne, appointed on July 13, 2026, to succeed him, will not begin a new six-year term.
“It is worth recalling that the late magistrate Badio Camara was appointed President of the Constitutional Council on September 1, 2022, for a six-year term, expiring on August 31, 2028. Following his death on April 10, 2025, his seat became vacant,” stated Justice Without Borders, headed by legal consultant El Amath Thiam, in a press release received today.
"Appointed on July 13, 2026 to succeed him, Ousmane Diagne is not beginning a new six (06) year term. In accordance with Article 5, paragraph 5, of the Organic Law on the Constitutional Council, the new President is called upon to complete the remaining term of his predecessor, i.e. until August 31, 2028. At the end of this period, he may, if necessary, be reappointed for a full six (06) year term," the text specifies.
Furthermore, Justice Without Borders sent its "sincere and warm congratulations" to the new president of the Constitutional Council, Ousmane Diagne, on his appointment, wishing him "full success in carrying out this high republican mission, in service of the Constitution, democracy, institutional stability and the higher interests of the Nation".
El Amath Thiam and Co. expressed the wish that "the opinions and decisions of the institution continue to be inspired by legal rigor, independence, impartiality and scrupulous respect for the Constitution, in order to consolidate the rule of law and sustainably strengthen citizens' confidence in the institutions of the Republic."
