Minister for State and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Maitre Madicke Niang (R), speaks during a press conference with Senegal's Minister in charge of February's presidential election following a meeting with the diplomatic corps at the Foreign Ministry in Dakar on February 23, 2012. Several presidential candidates are lobbying for Senegal's polls to be postponed amid protests over incumbent Abdoulaye Wade's third term candidacy and concerns over the impartiality of electoral bodies. One of Africa's most stable nations, Senegal is facing a stiff democratic test on February 26 after weeks of violent riots over the 85-year-old leader's efforts to cling to power left six dead and dozens injured.
