Senegal talks 'propose extension' of Sall's term
An election stakeholders' meeting has proposed that Senegal's President Macky Sall continues to remain in office temporarily, even after his last scheduled day on April 2.
Political crisis talks called by Senegal's President Macky Sall on Tuesday advocated the head of state remain in office beyond the end of his term on April 2 until his successor is installed, six national forum participants told AFP.
The participants in the "national dialogue" said there was a "broad consensus" in favour of the move, despite the opposition of a number of political and civil society actors to such an extension.
On February 3, Sall announced he was indefinitely postponing the Senegalese presidential election scheduled for February 25.
His main reason for postponing the election was "unresolved disputes over who could run for president." At least 19 people have qualified as candidates.
