Senegal: President tightens election strategy

With only three months before the Presidential and legislative elections in Senegal, 80-year-old President Abdoulaye Wade is implementing strategies geared towards re-election to power. One such move is to incorporate four opposition members into his cabinet line-up. President Wade, who had earlier reshuffled his cabinet after some ministers decided to declare their candidacy to run for President, named the new cabinet on Thursday (23 November 2006).
