SENEGAL’S parliament voted on Monday to delay the West African nation’s presidential election until December 15.
The decision was reached after opposition lawmakers were forcefully removed from the chamber as they debated President Macky Sall’s earlier decision to delay the crucial election.
Security forces stormed the legislative building and forcefully removed several opposition lawmakers who were trying to block the voting process on the unprecedented delay of the presidential election, initially scheduled for February 25.
