Senegal opposition figures banned from standing in parliamentary elections

Opposition MPs including Déthié Fall of the Yewi Askan Wi coalition have been barred from standing in Sunday’s polls, which could be an important test of the ruling party’s power. Fall was briefly detained in June as part of what he and some analysts see as a worrying sign for democracy in Senegal. FRANCE 24’s Sam Bradpiece, Sarah Sakho and Elimane Ndao report from Dakar.
