President Macky Sall is to speak on the Senegalese public broadcaster at 8pm (local time and GMT). He is expected to announce if he intends to run for a thrid term as president in 2024. Opponent Ousmane Sonko, who is still under house arrest, is calling on his supporters to protest today.
Sonko added that if the president announces a third-term bid it is "incumbent on all the Senegalese people to stand up, [and] to face him".
