Outgoing President Macky Sall casts his ballot with his wife in the central western town of Fatick as Senegalese people vote for a new president in an unpredictable race following three years of turmoil and political crisis. IMAGES
Senegalese President Macky Sall casts his vote in Fatick, 150km southeast of Dakar, as the country elects its parliament. The election is a test for the president to maintain loyalty, while the opposition hopes the results will force a coalition. Sixty-year-old Sall, who was elected in 2012 for seven years then re-elected in 2019 for another five, has been accused of wanting to break the two-term limit and run again in 2024. IMAGES
Supporters of Senegal's newly re-elected President Macky Sall celebrate in his campaign headquarters and on nearby streets in Dakar. Figures released by the National Vote Counting Commission (CNRV) showed Sall won Sunday's first round outright, picking up 58.27 percent of the vote.
Senegalese from incumbent President Macky Sall's hometown Fatick go to the polls in a presidential contest that Sall, facing unusually few challengers in a country fond of vigorous political debate, is confident of winning in the first round. IMAGES
