Description
A lawyer for Ousmane Sonko says the State has "denied the rule of law and democracy" after Senegal's Supreme Court upholds a six-month suspended sentence handed to the jailed opposition leader for defamation, a decision widely seen as jeopardising his chances of running for president. "But President Ousmane Sonko remains in the race, which is important. He remains a candidate. His candidacy will be examined tomorrow," says El Malick Ndiaye, a spokesman for Sonko's party, Pastef.
