Senegalese voters called to the polls to elect their new president after years of crisis. This Sunday's vote takes place in a tense atmosphere after being postponed by the government.

Some 7.3 million voters are called to choose between the government candidate, Amadou Ba, and 16 competitors, including a woman and the anti-system Bassirou Diomaye Faye. Both claim to be able to win on Sunday without going through a second round, which seems likely but whose date has not been set.
