Senegal election: Concerns grow as President Macky Sall fails to set new election date

There is international concern about the political situation in Senegal after President Macky Sall called off this month’s election citing a row over the eligibility of candidates.

The West African regional bloc Ecowas and the US urged the authorities to clarify when the vote will take place, as no new date was set.

France and the EU have also called for an election as soon as possible.

Senegal has been seen as one of the most stable democracies in West Africa.

President Sall’s reiteration that he will not run for a third term has been welcomed, but there is worry about the uncertainty created by a lack of an electoral timetable. The vote was supposed to have taken place in three weeks’ time.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

There is international concern about the political situation in Senegal after President Macky Sall called off this month’s election citing a row over the eligibility of candidates.

Uncertainty has played a role in deadly protests in the past as has the opposition allegation that politically motivated cases were being brought against potential candidates.

Khalifa Sall, former mayor of the capital, Dakar, urged people to protest against the move and his political coalition has pledged to go to court.

Mr Sall’s critics suggest he may have feared his chosen successor, Prime Minister Amadou Ba, was in danger of losing the election.

He added that he would start “an open national dialogue… to create the conditions for a free, transparent and inclusive election in a peaceful and reconciled Senegal”.

Twenty candidates had made the final list, but, in addition to Mr Wade, among the most prominent of those who had been excluded from the original vote was opposition politician Ousmane Sonko.
