Senegal : surprising victory of Bassirou Diomaye Faye in presidential election
Bassirou Diomaye Faye, protégé of opposition leader Ousmane Sonko, wins the presidential election in the first round, defying predictions.
His victory marks a major political turning point in Senegal, with promises of change and reform.
The youth, targeted by the Pastef party, played a key role in this election.
The country experienced one of its most serious crises when President Sall declared on February 3 a postponement of the presidential election scheduled three weeks later.
