Senegal to hold presidential election on March 24
Baku, March 7, AZERTAC
Voters in Senegal will choose their next president on March 24, Anadolu Agency reports citing President Macky Sall.
Sall announced the new poll date on the same day the Constitutional Council ruled that it would be unconstitutional to hold the presidential election after April 2, the date marking the end of the current term of the president.
The Council ruled that the election should be held as soon as possible, opposing recommendations of the national dialogue convened by Sall, which had suggested that the election be held in June.
The Council also maintained a list of 19 candidates nominated in January to participate in the presidential election.
Sall said last month that he will step down when his mandate as president ends on April 2.
