A Senegalese judge on Thursday ordered that jailed opposition leader Ousmane Sonko be reinstated on the electoral roll, clearing the way for him to stand in next year's presidential election.
The judge upheld a regional court ruling from October overturned by Senegal's top court last month, which said the question of whether Ousmane Sonko should be restored to the electoral roll should go back to the lower court in Dakar.
