 Senegal doubles maximum penalty for same-sex activity to 10 years' jail Senegal's National Assembly late on Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a ‌bill doubling the maximum prison term for same-sex sexual acts to 10 years and criminalising any efforts to promote homosexuality, Reuters reported. The law - passed by 135 votes to zero, with three abstentions - fulfils a campaign promise of the government that ​came to power in 2024, led by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister ​Ousmane Sonko. It now awaits Faye's signature. Senegal's penal code already carried an article, last ⁠amended in 1966, imposing up to five years' jail and fines of up to 1,500,000 CFA ​francs ($2,700) for "acts against nature".

LIST OF NINE SENATORS THAT DEFECT TO ADC

Nine Senators from across three political parties have notified the senate of their defection to the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

Senators Victor Umeh, Tony Nwoye and Ireti Kingibe moved from the Labor party to ADC.

Five others, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Binos Yaroe, Lawal Adamu Usman, Mohammed Ogoshi Onawo and Augustine Akobundu resigned from the PDP to ADC.

Enyinnaya Abaribe, who was the only APGA member in the Senate, also defected to ADC.

However, Senate has given Senator Abaribe one week to reconsider his defection because his explanation that he dumped APGA because he was  sacked by the party is not justified, as it is not covered by the constitution.
