Senegalese President Macky Sall receives his successor, and the African Union welcomes him. The meeting between Sall and Fay came after weeks of crisis surrounding the presidential elections.
Fay, 44, was released from prison 10 days before the elections, along with his inspiration, Ousmane Sonko, who was banned from running due to a criminal conviction against him. According to preliminary results, Fay won the first round of elections with 54.3%, far outperforming former Prime Minister Amadou Ba, the candidate chosen by Sall.
