Senegal's President Macky Sall indefinitely postpones Feb 25 presidential elections

Senegalese President Macky Sall has indefinitely postponed the presidential election scheduled for February 25, citing the need for an open national dialogue to ensure a free, transparent, and inclusive election. This comes amid controversy over the disqualification of opposition leaders and allegations of Constitutional Council judges' links to presidential hopefuls. The postponement has sparked concerns about potential instability, with the influential League of Imams and Preachers of Senegal warning against the risks of delaying the elections. Senegal's parliament has approved an inquiry into the Constitutional Council's workings, while voters are set to choose a successor to President Sall, who is not seeking a third term.
