There have been widespread riots in Senegal following the president's announcement of the delay to the election, scheduled for later this month
The decision to postpone this month's elections in Senegal is against the country's constitution, the country's top court has ruled.
The Constitutional Court annulled President Macky Sall's decree and a contentious bill passed by parliament moving the vote to December.
Widespread protests have gripped the West African country, once considered a bastion of democracy in the region.
Opposition figures said it amounted to an "institutional coup".
