Senegal’s little-known opposition leader Bassirou Diomaye Faye appears set to become the country’s next president, less than two weeks after being released from prison to run in the election.
The 44-year-old, who was backed by popular opposition leader Ousmane Sonko, has vowed to protect Senegal from corruption and interference from foreign powers like former colonial master France.Mr Sonko, who was also released on March 14 after months in prison to jubilant celebrations in the capital, was barred from running due to a prior conviction and Mr Faye ran in his place.
His former prime minister and the loser in the race, Amadou Ba, wished Mr Faye success in a statement shared by his campaign team. The expected winner of the election, Mr Faye is a former tax collector and was little known until Mr Sonko named him as his heir.
