Senegal's Constitutional Council published on Saturday the final list of 20 candidates for the February 25 presidential election. Ousmane Sonko, central figure in a standoff lasting more than two years with the State which gave rise to several episodes of deadly unrest, does not appear on the list. Karim Wade, son and minister of ex-president Abdoulaye Wade (2000-2012), is absent from the list due to a candidacy deemed "irreceivable" because of his dual French and Senegalese nationality.
