  • ECOWAS Urges Return to Electoral Schedule in Senegal
  • February 7, 2024
  • The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has urged what it calls “the political class” in Senegal to urgently restore the country’s electoral calendar in accordance with Senegal’s constitution. This, after President Mack Sall abruptly postponed the February 25, 2024 presidential election, and the parliament followed on Tuesday by pushing the polls to December. In a communique Tuesday, ECOWAS called on Senegal’s stakeholders to shun violence and other actions that may further disturb the peace and stability of the country. Abdel Fatau Musah, ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs and Security, tells VOA’s James Butty, the decision by President Sall and the Senegalese parliament goes against the fundamental principles of the sub-regional organization.
