Macky Sall took advantage of the first Council of Ministers meeting on February 7, 2024 since the announcement of the postponement of the presidential election to justify its postponement. The Head of State renewed his call for dialogue with all political actors in the country.

“We must not fall into the trap of dialogue  ,” an opposition party executive immediately responded. The opposition is organizing a walkout in schools from 10 a.m. on February 9, and for the mobilization of religious communities.
