Senegal's President Macky Sall has postponed the presidential elections, which were originally scheduled for February 25. The decision was welcomed by the former ruling Democratic Party, whose candidate Karim Wade was disqualified by the Constitutional Council. However, several opposition figures rejected the decision and vowed to continue with their campaigns. The US Department of State called for a new date to be set swiftly for a free and fair election. The postponement follows a dispute over the disqualification process and the alleged dual nationality of some qualified candidates. The crisis has put Senegal's stability to the test.
