*On 24 January 1999, a new Upper House of Parliament known as the
Senate was created in Senegal as a further step in the country's decentralization program. Of its 60 members, 45 are elected
by members of the National Assembly and by local, municipal and regional councils. A further 12 members are appointed by the
President of the Republic and the remaining three Senators are elected by Senegalese nationals living abroad. The poll was
boycotted by a majority of the opposition parties, which viewed its creation as inappropriate. The Senate was abolished following
a constitutional referendum held in January 2001.
