In the recent parliamentary elections in Senegal, the ruling PASTEF party is on track to secure a majority, potentially enabling President Bassirou Diomaye Faye to implement the ambitious reforms he had promised during his election campaign. The main opposition leaders, including former president Macky Sall of the Takku Wallu coalition, have acknowledged their defeat, with Sall extending congratulations to PASTEF on social media.
Following the closure of polls on Sunday, two other prominent opposition figures also conceded defeat, setting the stage for the official announcement of results and the distribution of parliamentary seats later this week. Prior to the elections, PASTEF held 56 seats in the 165-member National Assembly, while Sall's coalition had a narrow majority of 83 seats.
