In the press - Presidential election in Senegal: “Now say “His Excellency Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye””. The 44-year-old opponent, barely released from prison and still unknown a few months ago, becomes the fifth president of the Republic of Senegal.

For Le Pays, the victory of the Pastef candidate in the first round above all resembles "a sanction vote of the Senegalese against the arbitrary" and the "turpitudes" of outgoing President Macky Sall.
