The main opposition coalition in Senegal, Yewwi Askan Wi, says it would not appeal the results of the July 31 parliamentary elections.

Recall the provisional results, published on 4th August saw President Macky Sall's coalition lose an absolute majority, a first in the country's history.

The final figures are due to be released by the Constitutional Council, Senegal's highest court, by Thursday.

Yewwi Askan Wi had complained on August 4 about the "refusal" of the counting commission to let her "check" the voting records in four localities in the north of the country.

The opposition won 80 seats in total, including 56 for "Yewwi Askan Wi". The "Wallu Senegal" coalition, led by former President Abdoulaye Wade, won 24 seats.

Here is Dethie Fall, a member of the Yewwi Askan Wi coalition, briefing the press.
