President Sall was accused by critics of trying to cling to power
Senegal's president says the delayed election to choose his successor will be held "as soon as possible", after the top court ruled that his attempts to delay them were unconstitutional.
President Macky Sall has served two terms in office.
On Thursday, the Constitutional Council annulled President Sall's decree moving the vote to December.
The move will go some way to restore Senegal's reputation as a bastion of democracy in West Africa.
