Senegal's President Macky Sall
Senegal's President Macky Sall told a national dialogue on Monday that elections will be held before the rainy season begins around July.
He also reiterated his commitment to leave office before his mandate ends in April.
The election's 16 candidates refused to take part in the dialogue, insisting that an election date must be set as soon as possible in line with a court order earlier this month.
Sall, who has said he wouldn’t run again after his two terms in office, had postponed the election for 10 months while citing unresolved disputes over who could run.
Senegal’s Constitutional Court struck down the delay as illegal.
