On February 3, Macky Sall took Senegal by surprise. In an impromptu address to the nation, he announced the cancellation of the decree summoning voters on the 24th of the same month for the presidential election.
In this month of delay, nothing has changed, neither the opposition nor the majority candidates, nor the conditions of the election. The president, who called for the reopening of applications, or even the complete resumption of the selection process, obtained nothing. Experts are careful not to offer an explanation for what remains a perfectly sterile manipulation.
