  1. Soo Neither PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE is QUALIFIED to Run for Presidency, Yet One M……. EXTENDS his Presidential Mandate, DEMOCRACY does not WORK for ALL not Even HALF of ANY POPULATION😊

  2. Hey mr tell your dictator Macky Sall to hand over power to who ever wins. Dont disturb people about stories bala bala.macky cannot continue by on constitutional coup. Senegal is not his family property.

  3. 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

  4. 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!!.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 !

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
