Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Senegalese media has reported a hearing regarding Ousmane Sonko\u2019s presidential ambition in a special Court of Appeal slated for 12 December 2023.<\/b><\/p>\n

This Special Court hearing will determine whether or not Senegalese opposition leader Ousmane Sonko ought to be reinstated on the electoral roll after he (Sonko) was struck off the electoral roll following his (Sonko\u2019s) conviction in June 2023 to two years\u2019 imprisonment.<\/p>\n

It should be noted on 17 November 2023, the Supreme Court of Senegal overturned a judgement delivered in October 2023 by a judge in Ziguinchor, Casamance, which had put Ousmane Sonko back in the running for the February 2024 presidential election by overturning his (Sonko\u2019s) removal from the electoral roll. Senegal\u2019s Supreme Court declared on 17 November 2023 that the legal case to determine whether Ousmane Sonko should be reinstated on the electoral roll should be retried by this special court hearing, slated for 12 December 2023.<\/p>\n
