DAKAR - Senegal President Macky Sall comfortably won another term in office in last Sunday’s election, provisional figures showed on Thursday, giving him five more years to finish a raft of modernizing projects.
“We believed in him seven years ago, we continue to believe in him. He is a visionary...He is the future of Senegal,” Macky supporter Aicha Cisse Bottenoire said. Challenger Idrissa Seck, who came second with 21 percent of votes, and Ousmane Sonko, who placed third with 16 percent, said in a joint statement: “We firmly and full heartedly reject these results. [Sall] has disregarded the will of the people.”
