Senegal waits for decision on Wade - Africa | IOL News | IOL.co.za: "Dakar - Senegal's top constitutional body on Sunday weighed appeals to its controversial decision to allow President Abdoulaye Wade to run for a third term amid opposition vows for mass protests.
The Constitutional Council, appointed by 85-year-old Wade and known as the “five wise men”, had on Friday declared his renewed candidacy valid, sparking deadly riots in the normally peaceful West African nation.
Seven candidates - including the leader of the main opposition party, two of Wade's former prime ministers and two ex-foreign ministers - have lodged appeals with the council against Wade running again."
