The original article from Senegal is in French, but essentially the singer, songwriter, humanist turned politician has decided not to run in the 2024 presidential elections in Senegal as he has "taken his freedom to focus on his project". There is speculation that he might go back to running for the legislature, but maybe this project is music again? Remember his collaboration with Neneh Cherry https://thepoint.gm/africa/gambia/headlines/youssou-withdraws-from-2024-presidential-race
