President of Senegal Macky Sall has set the date for the presidential election to March 24, as reported by Reuters, citing a statement from the presidential administration of the African country.
This decision came after the Constitutional Council declared the proposal by the head of state to hold presidential elections on June 2 unconstitutional.
In Senegal, presidential elections are conducted in two rounds if no candidate secures more than 50% plus one vote in the first round.
