His supporters and lawyers have always clamored but the person remained silent until today: Khalifa Ababacar Sall, mayor of Dakar and MP will be a presidential candidate of 2019.
In a statement, that he was to read this Thursday, July 26, 2018 at the bar of Dakar court in the context of the trial of the Caisse d'avance which he refused to appear, Khalifa Sall informs that he "want to invite Senegalese and Senegalese to refuse that the only choice given to them is that of the perpetuation of the current regime, to defend the sovereign will of the people and to make their voices heard, which alone must decide the future of our country. I want to work with you to build this common future. That is why, yes, I am a candidate for the presidential election of February 24, 2019, with the conviction that we will draw from this trial the energy to gather the forces of the Nation, win the trust of the people and straighten our dear country. "
He further explained the cause of his refusal to appear. "This procedure does not provide guarantees to ensure the rights of my defense and the normal functioning of the judicial system in a state of law. Since the beginning, I have not been treated as a litigant like the others. The proceedings were conducted solely against the prosecution and eagerly to hasten the trial and its outcome, "reads the document signed by Khalifa Sall. Who "proclaims the truth to the Senegalese again: I have never betrayed their trust. The accusations that are made to me are ignominious, hypocritical, and infamous. Today, more than ever, I refute with force and conviction, each one of them pursuing the cowardly political design of impeding the freedom of suffrage. "
