"Senegal's Opposition Leader Sonko Reinstated on Electoral List, Paving Way for Potential Presidential Run"

A court in Senegal has ordered opposition leader Ousmane Sonko to be reinstated on the electoral register, potentially allowing him to run in the country's February 2024 presidential election. Sonko, who has been in detention since July, has faced multiple court cases, including charges of libel and rape, which he denies. The court's decision overturns a previous ruling that struck him off the electoral roll, positioning him as a main opposition challenger to President Macky Sall. The government has stated that it will appeal the court's decision.
