On Wednesday, July 3, 2024, Burkina Faso began an extended political transition period, in accordance with the national conference held on May 25, 2024, with the removal of the Head of State, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, from office for five years.
Therefore, under this new regulation, we expect that the political sphere in the country may change. Even though, contrary to what many observers think, President Faso will not be sworn in again. The Transitional Legislative Assembly (ALT) seems to be reconfiguring.
On July 1, 2024, the Minister in charge of Institutional Relations, Me Rodrigue Bayala, was invited to appear on a national television news program to say that the revised Transition Charter, which will come into force on May 25, 2024, could lead to a reconfiguration of institutions of the Transitional Legislative Assembly (ALT).
It is noteworthy that the current ALT includes 71 representatives, of whom 20 are appointed by the head of state, 16 are from the defense and security forces, 12 are from civil society organizations, 13 are representatives of the country’s regions and 10 are from political parties.
The minister said that Article 14 of the amended charter abolished the quotas given to four political components, namely the former majority, the former leader of the political opposition, the former non-partisan opposition (ONA) and other political parties.
The meeting decided that, from now on, 12 seats will be given to the political party group as a whole. “There will no longer be members of the former majority party, the former opposition party, other political parties and the National National Party. Needless to say, this amended provision, which will come into effect on July 2, may lead to a reorganization at the level of the Transitional Legislative Assembly,” explained Minister Bayala.
It should be remembered that increasing the number of ALT seats is part of the recommendations of the participants, who believe that this is done by taking into account certain components that do not exist. They also recommend increasing the number of government members by “adjusting certain ministries to improve efficiency, depending on current issues and priorities”.
Therefore, the final decision lies with the authorities who have full power over the issue.
While waiting to learn more about this possible reorganization, the deadline of July 2, 2024 has arrived and we already know this note dated July 2, 2024, addressed to the political parties to designate, no later than Wednesday, July 3, 2024, the ALT representatives.
