Senegal's President Macky Sall says he will now complete a seven-year mandate that runs until 2019, ditching a promise made during his election campaign to cut his term to five years. The Senegalese leader says the country's top court had rejected his proposal to cut his current presidential term by two years. Sall had proposed 15 reforms in all, including limiting presidential terms to two mandates and expanding the powers of the national assembly and the constitutional council.
