It indicates that the election of the President and that of the 53 Deputies (MPs) elected from a final list of names of candidates proposed by political organisations or for independent candidates will be held on the same dates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the country, the polling date for the President of the Republic and 53 Deputies elected from a final list of names of candidates proposed by political organisations or for independent candidates is Monday, 15 July 2024,\u201d the Presidential Order reads in part.<\/p>\n
