President Macky Sall did not set an official date for the presidential election, which he had decreed to be postponed. At the same time, he assured that his term as head of the country would end as planned on April 2.

The date will be given at the end of a two-day dialogue with all political actors and civil society in the country, which will take place next Monday and Tuesday, February 26 and 27. Sixteen of the 19 candidates denounced an “ inexplicable slowness ” in the organization of this presidential election.
