Senegal has been experiencing a political crisis for several weeks. President Macky Sall caused a national commotion by postponing the vote to February 3.

After a month of uncertainty, the presidential election was finally set for March 24. The campaign has been reduced by necessity from three to two weeks and will end on March 22 at midnight. It will largely be held during the Muslim fasting month of March. Many Senegalese expressed to AFP their impatience to vote and turn the page.
