Описание: Senegal went to the polls on March 24 for an election that almost didn’t happen. After an election delay that had several political twists and turns, and weeks of protests that shook the country’s reputation as a stable democracy, Senegalese citizens voted in an election to pick a successor to President Macky Sall, who had been in power for 12 years. Despite predictions of a possible run-off, the candidate from the ruling party conceded defeat to Bassirou Diomaye Faye, candidate from the leading opposition party. At 44-years old president-elect Bassirou Diomaye Faye is set to become Africa’s youngest president. Wilson Center Africa Program director, Oge Onubogu spoke to Ambassador Ibrahim Gambari, respected Nigerian scholar-diplomat, who led the ECOWAS Elections Observer Delegation to Senegal to discuss his thoughts on the outcome of the elections and what it means for the future of Senegal and democracy in the coup-prone West Africa region.
