Senegal: Police and protesters clash after Senegal election postponed, face crackdown | Oneindia

In Dakar, the capital of Senegal, security forces employed tear gas and carried out notable arrests on Sunday in response to sporadic protests against the postponed presidential election scheduled for February 25.

President Macky Sall declared the delay on Saturday, citing a dispute over the candidate list.

The Constitutional Court's ruling, which excluded several candidates, prompted Sall's decision.

Concurrently, lawmakers are scrutinising two judges from the court whose credibility in the election process has come under scrutiny.
