Bathily ran again in the February 2007 presidential election as the candidate of the Jubbanti Sénégal coalition,[1] taking sixth place with 2.21% of the vote, according to official results.[9] Bathily's campaign rejected the results and alleged that there were flaws in the voting, saying that a person could be registered more than once, and that the ink used in voting, which was supposed to be indelible, could be washed off.[10] Along with Socialist Party candidate Ousmane Tanor Dieng, Bathily filed an appeal regarding the election, but their appeals were rejected by the Constitutional Council.[9]
