Senegalese President Macky Sall proposed on Tuesday February 27 a new date for the presidential election for June 2. Part of the opposition criticizes an “illegal and non-negotiable proposal” Because the president would remain in office despite the end of his mandate on April 2, creating a legal vacuum.
For the ruling party, this is “ bad faith ”. The Constitutional Council says that the election cannot be held on February 25 and asks authorities to organize the election as soon as possible.
