Expectations are growing that President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's party would win Senegal's elections.
An electoral worker sits as a woman prepares to cast her vote during the early legislative election, at a polling station in Parcelle, suburb of Dakar, Senegal, November 17, 2024.The heated campaign period had revived concerns about unrest as political rivals clashed, sometimes violently.
“I once again call on voters… to show serenity, commit to the peaceful route, and to accept the popular will that will be expressed through the ballot box.” “I would like to congratulate Pastef, the winner of the election,” said Dias, who is head of one of the opposition coalitions, SAMM Sa Kaddu. At stake is Faye’s mandate to make good on promises to crack down on corruption and improve livelihoods that helped sweep him to power in April following a landslide election victory.
