Senegal's President Macky Sall Postpones National Election Hours Before Campaign Start

Senegal's President Macky Sall has indefinitely postponed the presidential election scheduled for 25 February, citing a dispute between the national assembly and constitutional court over rejected candidates. This move has sparked anger from opposition figures and led to a ministerial resignation. The postponement, the first in Senegal's presidential election history, has raised political tensions, prompting calls for dialogue and an expedited process to set a new date from both the West African bloc Ecowas and the US state department.
