塞内加尔议会推迟总统选举。 Senegal’s parliament delays presidential election.
塞内加尔议会投票将总统选举从 2 月 25 日推迟到 12 月 15 日，此举戏剧性地驱逐了反对派领导人，将总统麦基·萨勒的任期延长了至少八个月。 Senegal’s parliament voted to delay the presidential election from Feb. 25 to Dec. 15, after kicking out opposition leaders in a dramatic move that extends President Macky Sall’s stay in power by at least eight months. 他的任期定于 4 月 2 日结束。 His term was set to end on April 2. 此次投票之前，萨尔周末决定推迟选举，理由是该国选举监督机构宪法委员会在批准选举候选人方面存在违规行为。 The vote followed Sall’s decision over the weekend to postpone elections, citing irregularities by the Constitutional Council, the country’s elections overseer, in the approval of candidates for the elections.
