There was a conflict between the federal government and the Muslim community in the election of foreign residents

The preliminary results of the election held on June 18, 2023, to send Diaspora representatives to Niger's legislative bodies show that there was a fight between the leaders of the PNDS Federal and the parties in power. and the few people from the calm Moden party.

About 103,164 of the 205,314 Nigerians living abroad voted on June 18, 2023, to choose who will represent them in the National Assembly, said the head of the CENI electoral commission at a party held this Wednesday at the 'Palais des Congres' conference hall in Yamai.

Me Issaka Sounna also said that MNSD NASARA got one of the five seats that were up for election, PNDS TARAYYA won two seats, and MODEN LUMANA won two seats.

The MODEN LUMANA party is proud of how brave its children were in the June 18 election, which someone closes to Mahamadou Maidouka calls a "victory."

In 2016, people from Niger who lived outside of the country began sending members to the National Assembly. At that time, PNDS TARAYYA had 3 of the 5 seats. Some people think that the fact that it rose with two seats this time is a sign. said to the government. But Boubacar Sabo says that the situation is related to the way elections are run.

There were 10 groups running for 5 seats in the National Assembly, which has 171 seats. As a general rule, Nigeriens who live abroad should vote at the same time as the rest of the people in their home country. But because of the corona epidemic in 2020, the diaspora polls had to be put off. Now, all eyes are on the constitutional court, which has the power to decide if the election results are legal, that is, if it agrees with them or not.
