Top opposition leader Ousmane Sonko already had called for more demonstrations around the West African country in the event Sall had instead announced his intention to run again in February. "Even if I have the right, I felt that my duty is not to contribute to destroying what I have built for this country," Sall said.
Sonko had long called for the president to bow out of the 2024 election publicly, accusing Sall's government of bringing court cases against the opposition leader in an effort to sideline the competition ahead of February's election.
