Presidential election postponed in Senegal: understanding everything about the crisis the country is going through. This is the first time since 1963 that a presidential election by direct universal suffrage has been postponed.
The president elected in 2012 and re-elected in 2019 made the announcement on Saturday in a brief intervention on public television, a few hours before the opening of the campaign. “Our country has been confronted for several days with a dispute between the National Assembly and the Constitutional Council, in open conflict against the backdrop of an alleged case of corruption of judges,” he said.
