So, who is this President Basirou Faye? How did he manage to win without widespread name recognition in the Senegal election?
The question is, can this be said of our own Supreme Court? How many times have they disappointed the masses and failed to genuinely and fairly interpret the laws of the land all in a bid to please some political interests and (executive) agenda?
Incoming Senegalese president Bassirou Diomaye Faye is as much outgoing President Macky Sall’s creation as he is Ousmane Sonko’s.
In jail until ten days before the vote, a political outsider has been elected president on the first ballot, As detailed results from around the country trickled in, Amadou Ba, former Prime Minister and standard bearer for the ruling Benno Bokk Yaakaar (BBY) alliance, could draw only one conclusion. By the afternoon of 25 March, less than 24 hours after the polls had closed, it was clear that he had been decisively defeated by Bassirou Diomaye Faye of the radical opposition Patriotes africains du Sénégal pour le travail, l'éthique et la fraternité (Pastef).
At 44 years old, Bassirou Diomaye Faye is set to become Senegal's youngest president, a remarkable achievement considering he has never held a national elective office before.
