What are the chances of these appeals? Questioned on the question by Source A, the teacher-researcher in Public Law, Papa Moussa Saliou Guéye indicates that “each candidate is free to do so”.
On the other hand, specifies the specialist: “It is not because it is a right that we must appeal for the pleasure of doing so.” Thus, the applicant must provide “convincing evidence, and it will then be up to the Constitutional Council to assess” to the extent that the newspaper’s interlocutor argues: “If there is not sufficient evidence to allow the Constitutional Council a fairly thorough search, they have no chance of seeing their appeal succeed even if they have the right to do so.”
