Senegalese are still digesting the weekend bombshell dropped by President Macky Sall when he abruptly postponed the February 25, 2024 presidential election. According to the French News Agency (AFP), the president cited controversies over the disqualification of some candidates and corruption in election-related cases. Some political parties attempted to begin campaigning Sunday, but security forces prevented them from doing so. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has called for dialogue. Political analyst Ibrahima Kane says Senegalese are shocked, surprised, and feel betrayed. He tells VOA James Butty, there is legally justified emergency in the country to justify the postponement.
