Senegal: demonstration against rejection of opposition electoral list

Description

Supporters of the main Senegalese opponent, Ousmane Sonko, are gathered to demonstrate against the rejection of their list in the upcoming legislative elections. The coalition of Ousmane Sonko, Yewwi Askan Wi, had announced this rally against the power before the decision of the Constitutional Council to confirm the rejection of the list on which he and other opposition figures appear for the general elections on 31 July. This invalidation amounts to removing Ousmane Sonko from the race. IMAGES
