Thousands march in Senegal demanding election date

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Senegal’s capital, Dakar, on Saturday demanding a set date for the country’s presidential election.

The demonstration, organized by opposition parties and civil society groups, comes amidst growing uncertainty over when the election will be held.

Senegal’s President, Macky Sall, has faced criticism for delaying the election, which was initially scheduled for February 2022. The postponement has sparked anger and frustration among the opposition and the general population.

The protesters chanted slogans and carried banners calling for a swift resolution to the election date issue. They also called for transparency and fairness in the electoral process.

The government has yet to announce a new date for the election, citing logistical challenges and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as reasons for the delay.

The protest in Dakar was peaceful, but tensions remain high as the country waits for a resolution to the election date dispute.
