Parliamentary elections were held in Senegal on 31 July 2022 to elect the 165 members of the National Assembly. President Macky Sall's United in Hope coalition remained the largest bloc in the National Assembly but lost its majority it had held since 2012.[1]
The 165 members of the National Assembly are elected by two methods; 112 are elected by either first-past-the-post or party bloc vote in single- or multi-member constituencies based on the 46 departments, with an additional 15 elected by overseas voters.[2] The other 53 seats are elected from a nationwide constituency by proportional representation, with seats allocated initially using the simple quotient, with remaining seats allocated using the largest remainder method.[3]
Campaign
Ousmane Sonko was disqualified as a candidate by the Constitutional Council as a result of his arrest due to rape charges, leading to violent protests. Alongside Sonko, Khalifa Sall and Karim Wade were disqualified as candidates.[4]
Aminata Touré of the APR called on Senegalese youth to vote for her party, citing Macky Sall's work for the country.[4]
