SENEGAL PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS, OVER 7 MILLION EXPECTED TO VOTE

Voters in Senegal are choosing today 165 lawmakers in the nation’s assembly, where the party of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye currently does not hold a majority.
41 lists of candidates with four major coalitions dominating the race. Former President Macky Sall leads the Takku Wallu opposition platform.
Faye, who was elected in March on an anti-establishment platform, said that has blocked him from executing the reforms he pledged during his campaign, including fighting corruption, reviewing fishing permits for foreign companies, and securing a bigger share from the country’s natural resources for the population.
His prime minister Ousmane Sonko did not present in the assembly where the opposition threatened a vote of no confidence.
