A particular election since it will be coupled with the legislative ones.

During this weekly government meeting, two decrees fixing the dates of presidential and legislative elections were adopted by the Council of Ministers. For the Minister, Siméon Sawadogo, the date of November 22 turns out to be very important insofar as it is in line with the prescriptions of the Burkinabè fundamental law. In fact, the Burkinabé constitution stipulates that “presidential elections must take place 21 days before the expiration of the presidential mandate or at most 40 days.”
