A government official disclosed that Amadou Ba, the candidate representing Senegal’s ruling coalition, has reportedly reached out to concede victory to the opposition’s Bassirou Diomaye Faye in the presidential elections held on Sunday. Unofficial reports indicate that Mr. Faye holds a substantial lead over Mr. Ba in the election results.
Mr. Faye, who had been incarcerated just ten days before the election, campaigned on a platform promising significant changes. Official election results are anticipated in the coming days, following a delay from the originally scheduled date last month.
The election process unfolded against a backdrop of political unrest in Senegal, a country renowned for its stable democracy. This unrest ensued after outgoing President Macky Sall attempted to postpone the election until December.
