Senegalese opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye is on the verge of being declared winner of the March 24 presidential election. The latest provisional results from 100 percent of polling stations show Faye has won 54.28 percent of the votes. His nearest competitor, Amadou Ba, received 35.79 percent of the votes. Senegalese political analyst Ibrahima Kane tells VOA’s James Butty, the results are a referendum on President Macky Sall who did almost everything to derail the elections.
