Senegal: Parliament votes for the creation of a committee of inquiry into the electoral process. 11 deputies will make up the investigation team.
They have six months maximum to deliver their conclusions. Karim Wade's supporters are hoping for a postponement of the elections to allow their candidate to return to the race. The opposition coalition, Ayib Dafe, unsuccessfully voted against the commission of inquiry.. MPs have neither the power nor the mandate to create an institutional crisis, the ruling coalition says.
