Administrative Commission which sat at the Embassy of Senegal in Kuwait, the latter Commission having been empowered to receive Senegalese citizens in regard to election matters, to submit his application to have his name featured on the electoral roll, in compliance with Law No. 2018-476 of 20 February 2018 on Extraordinary Revision of the Electoral List; that the said Commission received and registered his application, and that on the same day, the Commission issued him with a receipt, with number 80651515. Karim Meissa Wade averred that before the revision exercise, he already had a voter’s card and was legally registered on the electoral roll. He further argued that whereas his registration on the electoral roll was consistent with the provisions of Article 4 (1) of the above-cited Law No. 2018476 of 20 February 2018, he noticed that his name was among a list of persons whose registration on the electoral roll had been rejected on the ground that he was not entitled to be registered on the list he intended, in compliance with Article L.31 of the Electoral Code. That on 2 July 2018, the central administrative units of the Ministry of Interior, through the agency of the Director of Training and Communication at the lection headquarters, acknowledged that the decision to reject his registration on the electoral roll originated from them. That on 4 July 2018, i.e. less than 48 hours after that decision, the Republic of Senegal promulgated Law No. 2018-22 on Revision of the Electoral Code, with a new Article L.57, in the terms of which for one to be eligible for the presidential election, one must be sponsored by a list of voters, and for one to be sponsored, one must be a qualified voter. That the law was published in Official Journal No. 7106 of the Republic of Senegal the following day, 5 July 2018. He claims that with a view to contest the rejection of his application to be registered on the electoral roll, he, on 7 July 2018, filed an application before the Tribunal d’Instance Hors Classe (TIHC) of Dakar against the Minister of Interior, seeking restoration of his registration. That by Order No. 470 made on 23 July 2018 in first and last resort, the President of the said TIHC of Dakar declared that he had no jurisdiction to adjudicate upon the matter. That on 2 August 2018, he filed an appeal before the Supreme Court seeking to quash the said Order No. 470. However, the Supreme Court, by Judgment No. 49 delivered on 30 August 2018, dismissed his appeal. Translator: E. Nkansah 4
