SENEGAL-POLITICS-VOTE

Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade attends on March 20, 2009 at a campaign meeting for the municipal elections in the capital Dakar. Senegal's local elections on March 22 are an important test for the party of Wade, which has come under increasing criticism amid a food crisis and the global financial downturn. Observers see the vote, which marks the first time since the boycotted 2007 parliamentary elections that the opposition takes part in an election, as an important indicator for the planned 2012 presidential election. There is much speculation about the succession of Wade, 82, with many commentators saying he is preparing his son Karim to succeed him. The vote is also Karim's first official entry into politics as a candidate for city councillor in Dakar, a post that could see him become the mayor of the capital.
