Analysts say no candidate is expected to win more than 50 of the vote, with a run-off widely expected as the outcome.
Polls have opened in Senegal in a tightly-contested presidential race which follows months of uncertainty and unrest that has tested the west African nation’s reputation as a stable democracy.
“This is poised to be the most competitive election since the introduction of multi-party politics,” Tochi Eni-Kalu, Africa analyst at the Eurasia Group, told The Associated Press. Mr Sonko, who came third in the previous election, was barred from running in January because of a prior conviction for defamation.
Two candidates dropped out this week to back Mr Faye’s candidacy, a sign of the start of coalition-building that could determine the outcome of the race, according to analysts.
