The Senegalese head of state Macky Sall announced, Saturday February 3, that he had repealed his decree setting February 25 as the date of the presidential election, after the establishment of a parliamentary commission investigating two judges of the Constitutional Council whose integrity in the electoral process is contested. 

“I signed the decree of February 3, 2024 repealing the decree” of November 26, 2023 setting the presidential election for February 25, 2024, said the President of Senegal in his speech to the Nation, a few hours before the opening of the campaign electoral for the presidential election for which twenty candidates were to compete, without two tenors of the opposition.
