Kinshasa Africa – In Burkina Faso, the deputies adopted a new electoral code. A document that will serve for the next elections scheduled for 2020.
But the opposition cries out for exclusion, because it finds restrictive documents necessary for the census of the millions of Burkinabe living abroad, especially those living in Côte neighboring Ivory Coast. For the opposition, it is a "serious recoil" for democracy while the party in power greets him a democratic advance.
With this new electoral code, only the national identity card of Burkina Faso or the Passport will be the documents authorized for Burkinabe living abroad to register on the electoral register for the presidential election of 2020. And the polling stations will be located only within embassies and consulates.
"We can not go to the elections for the vote of the president of Faso without ensuring that it is the only Burkinabè who vote … whereas the only documents that allow so that allow to prove his nationality, it is the national map of Burkinabe identity and passport!
Juliette Bonkounogu, member of the Congress for Democracy and Progress, denounces a policy of exclusion of some Burkinabe living outside the country through this new draft electoral code. "We simply mean that we should give the opportunity to all those who want to vote and who are Burkinabe to be able to do so.
Emmanuel Lankoandé chairman of a majority parliamentary group welcomes the adoption of this new draft electoral code. "This bill will allow our country to move forward and grow in democracy. The bottom line is that our compatriots will be able to vote … "
Opposition deputies left the hemicycle before the start of the vote and their parties are already preparing to fight against this new draft electoral code. [19659005] RFI
