Polls close as voters in Senegal elect new president | DW News

I love the news from DW about everywhere in the world. It gets me out of my American bubble. Best of luck, Senegal! 🇸🇳

I love that the Sengalise realised their democratic freedoms were being quashed & they rose up together to defend them against tyraany - and they won! Whoop, whoop, go Senegal! What a shining light for self-determination from a pro-democratic country (Russians, take note!).

bravo keep it up

Indeed, Diomaye is elected as the new president of Senegal.

Yes yes Africa work up

The information that your reporter gives is not accurate and doesn’t reflect the vote of the people. The Opposition is winning far more votes than ever before in the history of Senegalese elections. We are talking about 60,..% for Bassirou Diamaye Faye and not the outgoing PM. And for your questions about what the next President should need to tackle first is access to justice and economic growth on every level of the Senegalese nation, creating opportunities for the youth that is currently running away from persecution, poverty … to name a few that’s leading many of them to risk their lives on the Atlantic ocean or Mexican border for a better life - while the natural resources of Senegal is being exploited by a corrupt elite. To sum up, this is a game changing moment for the Senegalese society after a long period of turmoil against corruption, neocolonialism. We the people of Senegal, have decided to set ourselves free from all types of oppression and tyranny. We are a Sovereign Nation 🇸🇳. FPR

We will all be behind our dear President Diomaye for a better Senegal long live Africa long live democracy🎉❤🇸🇳✊🏾

Isn’t the most democratic in West Africa but around the world

Macky Sall is the biggest threat to Senegal's stability and democracy, like so many dictators, he will try everything to cling onto power. The Senegalese people have paid a high price for their much envied democracy and peace, let no one try to derail it, time to vote Sall out, for good.
