The book explores the evolution of constitutionalism in Africa, highlighting the establishment of constitutional councils and courts as pivotal institutions for promoting democracy. These entities not only ensure compliance with constitutional mandates and protect fundamental rights but also hold significant authority in regulating and validating presidential elections. However, the narrative suggests that once these institutions are created, they often become independent forces, influencing political decisions over extended periods, even when their frameworks may not align with the evolving political landscape.
