Senegal: elected president, Diomaye Faye reassures foreign partners. The election was closely followed abroad, with Senegal considered one of the most stable countries in West Africa shaken by putsch.
The certainty of Mr. Faye's victory triggered scenes of jubilation among his supporters in the capital and in Casamance (south) on Sunday evening. In twelve presidential elections based on universal suffrage, this is the first time that an opposition candidate has won in the first round.
