| Description | The decision to postpone this month's elections in Senegal is against the country's constitution, the country's top court has ruled.
The Constitutional Court annulled President Macky Sall's decree and a contentious bill passed by parliament moving the vote to December.
Widespread protests have gripped the West African country, once considered a bastion of democracy in the region.
Opposition figures said it amounted to an "institutional coup". |
