Senegal to Decide Future Leadership in Delayed Elections

Voters face a pivotal choice between continuity and change amid economic optimism.

Senegal's President Macky Sall defends the decision to delay elections, insisting democracy remains intact.
The delayed vote, initially set for February 25, was postponed due to concerns about candidate vetting by the Constitutional Council.
Millions of voters will decide between Sall's successor, Amadou Ba, and opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye on March 24.
Faye, recently released from prison under an amnesty law, plans to renegotiate gas and mining contracts and review relations with France.
Senegal's economic prospects are bright, with a forecasted GDP growth of 8.8% this year, buoyed by upcoming gas and oil projects.
