Macky Sall will step down when his official term ends

Senegal's Macky Sall vows to step down when official term ends but no new election date announced. Sall says April 2 will be the end of his mandate as president of the West African nation. He added that it was unlikely the election of a new president will be completed before then.

Senegal's President Macky Sall is considering a third-term bid, amid human rights concerns and polarized politics. Sall's Democratic Credentials have taken a beating under the president. The country's Democratic Party has been in decline for years, despite a growing support for Sall in recent years.
