Burkina Faso Leader Ibrahim Traoré Dissolves Electoral Commission
In a surprising turn of events, the government in Burkina Faso, led by Ibrahim Traoré, has officially disbanded the country’s Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI).
President Traoré points to “unsustainable costs” and “growing concerns over foreign influence” as the main reasons for this decision.
This move raises new questions about when the country might return to democratic governance and how future elections will be organized.
Critics worry this could stall the democratic transition, while supporters believe it’s a crucial step to safeguard national sovereignty from outside interference.
