QQ Senegal's biggest opposition coalition "Benno Siggil Seenagal" says it is ready for future presidential elections, but without incumbent President Abdoulaye Wade."Benno Siggil Seenegal is ready for the elections. But we demand that Wade respects the constitution which stipulates the conditions under which we may go for the election; he is supposed to resign for the elections to be held," the group's spokesman Ibrahima Mbow told reporters on Friday.
Speaking on Thursday for the first time since the outbreak of violent protests on June 23-27 against the controversial constitutional amendment, Wade affirmed that he was ready to organize presidential elections within 40 days if his opponents were ready.
He also reiterated that he would support whoever wins the elections.
"Listening to his speech as he addressed members of his party, it was clear that Wade was not speaking to the Senegalese people and that he does not respect this country's constitution. We want to clearly state that he will not be a candidate because the constitution does not allow him to contest in the forthcoming elections," said the spokesman of Benno Siggil Seenagal.
Wade, 85, has been in power since 2000. He has declared that he would be contesting for a third term in the February 2012 presidential elections.
The opposition and members of the civil society have rejected his candidature, insisting that the constitution bars him from running for another term.
