Karim will seize the UN and the ECOWAS

Karim Wade does not give up. It is up to us that Wade-fils intends to seize the UN and ECOWAS very soon to "enforce its rights". That's not all. He will also seize, in writing, diplomatic representations in Senegal and religious leaders. After the legal battle, the fight will intensify on the political field, we learn within the liberal establishment. After the rejection of his registration on the electoral rolls, his appeal to the Dakar District Court was dismissed.

Karim Wade's group of lawyers denounced with vigor the order of July 21, 2018 by which the president of the Higher Court of Dakar declared herself incompetent to judge the refusal of registration of their client on the electoral list.

According to the defense of Wade-son, this proves once again the instrumentalization of Senegalese justice by the political power to prevent our client from benefiting from his civil and political rights while he was not deprived by no jurisdiction. "For six years, the fundamental rights of Karim Wade, candidate of the main opposition party to outgoing President Macky Sall are systematically flouted by the Senegalese authorities to prevent him from participating in the presidential election of 24 February 2019 ", denounce his lawyers in a note of which we hold a copy.

To recall that the Directorate General of Elections had first rejected its inscription, based on Article L31 of the Electoral Code. Who stipulates that "those who are sentenced to a term of imprisonment without a conditional sentence or to a suspended sentence of more than 1 month with one year for one of the following offenses: theft, fraud, breach of trust, drug trafficking, embezzlement and subtraction committed by public officials, corruption, trading in influence, counterfeiting, "explained Bernard Casimir Demba Cissé.
