Senegal’s Seck Plans to be Ruling Party Candidate, Pop Reports

Senegal’s former Prime Minister Idrissa Seck will challenge President Abdoulaye Wade for the ruling party’s nomination for the 2012 presidential elections, le Pop reported.

Seck told reporters he is the only constitutionally eligible candidate contesting the ruling party’s primary, the Dakar-based newspaper said. President Abdoulaye Wade’s bid for a third term in office is “unconstitutional,” he said.
