SENEGAL goes to the polls on 24 February in one of Africa’s most significant elections in 2019, deciding whether to return geologist-turned-President Macky Sall to power, risk the ballot on veteran politician and ex-prime minister Idriss Seck, or opt instead for newcomer Ousmane Sonko.
Actors in the upstream sector keen to develop proven assets amid fiscal stability may well place a premium on continuity, encouraged by pollsters claiming that Sall will romp through as his principal challengers have been debarred from participation by the judiciary.
