Many of the candidates have been dismissed and there was no issue. We people standing aside waiting patiently to the liberation day, which coming for sure in 3 weeks. But the PDS representant coming out from nowhere with their commission and asking for the election to be postponed… There is no conflict and no problem btwn institutions. It is a simple and dumb coup. PDS pushed the vote with the help of the majority. They ploted with Macky Sall, who managed to have trouble during months to have a chance to abort the election. Even when Sonko where throwed in jail, and disqualified senegaleses people remain calm.
Macky Sall with the help of PDS and his own deputies put their strengh together in this Putsch. Civilan Putsch zs simple as that.
They know Diomaye is going to win this elelection, and these greedy dirty corrupted folk want to stop this before it happenned, because all of them will be in jail regarding all damages they caused in these 20 past years with total impunity
Macky sall gouvernements they are corupt lier assassin Macky sall is evil
The host keeps speaking over the guest… it's difficult to listen
This has ZERO to do with free and fair elections, but everything to do with your NATURAL RESOURCES.
Putin has interrupted the west NATURAL Gas supply, and they are scrambling towards Africa.
That president's behavior is suspect!!.
The most unscrupulous African leader ever ruled in Africa. When Gambia 2016 was drawn into controversial status due to confused results by ICE, Macky Sall being a political hypocrisy opted for ECOWAS to invade Gambia true military means.
When he started his political Mick mouse game against the opposition leader Ousman Sonko, the entire ECOWAS and An supported him despite many life's were lost and many youths jailed. IN and other multilateral blocks like EU and by extension the Human Right unit at UN all allowed Macky with political immunity as Israel always accorded too.
He will continue surviving again being Africans Israel twin state having political immunity against all regional and international laws.
The minister simply rambled nonsense and it is hard for the interviwer to flow him. It is really disgraceful of him trying to defend the indefesible. What a clown!
Macky orchestrated this stunt, just to prolong this election. Therefore, he does not realize the mistakes he has made. For a long time he accused K. Wade of public denial thefts. And today claims that Karim is wronged by the constitutional council. While the most aggrieved opponent in this story is Sonko. People are not fooled. There is so much contradiction on Macky's part. Moreover, the law itself does not authorize this postponement, and that's all. Period !
The ministry is totally lying helping the outgoing president to clinch and stay in power for their selfish interests.

If you do not leave power , power will leave you.
Such a shame for Senegal! I hope that this is resolved quickly, peacefully!
African eaders are just something else😢😢
Another former French colony in turmoil, no surprise at all! Mackay wants to stay in power and France is behind it. These people are fossils.
what a lunatic!!! The sale Macky Sall who was conspiring with France to resort so democracy in Niger. This guy is nobody the puppet of the colonialists.
Senegal has always been a politically stable country. What nonsense is this now?
I hope the people of Senegal will never give up. This clowns are power hungry but do nothing.
ECOWAS is America's Lap-Dog
They released the report date. The elections will take place on the 15th of december. Macky Sall is nothing but a liar. He was the one who told Abdoulaye Wade to be fair and leave power when he's clearly making it worse.
