The Senegalese head of state Macky Sall pledged on Friday February 16 to organize the presidential election "as soon as possible", after the veto put by the Constitutional Council on its decision to postpone the election initially scheduled for the end of February.
The Constitutional Council in fact invalidated on Thursday the postponement of the presidential election to December 15 and asked the authorities to hold the vote "as soon as possible". Macky Sall "intends to fully implement the Council's decision" and "will without delay carry out the necessary consultations for the organization of the presidential election as soon as possible", his services said in a press release.
