Senegal postpones presidential election, sparks demonstrations. Senegalese President Sall announced the postponement of the presidential election originally scheduled for February 25 this year.
He said that several judges of the Constitutional Committee responsible for reviewing election candidates were involved in corruption cases, and that another candidate had dual nationality, which violated the constitution. According to Senegal's electoral laws, the election date must be announced at least 80 days in advance, which means that the new election can be held as early as the last week of April.
