This week's quiz: On February 10th, I asked a question about Senegal's presidential election. On February 3, just hours before formal campaigning was to begin, voting was canceled by incumbent President Macky Sall. Sall cited the investigation into two Constitutional Council judges whose integrity in his election process has been called into question as the reason.
You had to reread Melissa Chemam's article “Senegalese MPs postpone presidential election to December 15th” and answer the following question: How many candidates are running for president of Senegal? mosquito?
The answer is, At the time I asked: 20
Here's the latest: Senegal's Constitutional Council has ruled that a vote must be held by April 2, when Sall's term expires. The new voting date is March 24, leaving little time for the 19 candidates to campaign. And yes, there are now 19 candidates instead of his original 20. On February 19, Rose Wardini abandoned his candidacy following a controversy over his dual French-Senegalese citizenship.
In addition to the quiz questions, there were also bonus questions.How can I sleep? ” question was suggested by Nasir Muhammad from Katsina State, Nigeria.
