Senegalese await the outcome of a peaceful presidential vote, following months of unrest

Senegalese anxiously awaited the results of the presidential election Monday, following months of uncertainty and unrest that tested its reputation as a stable democracy in a region rife with coups. Results from polling stations that had completed counting were posted overnight on social media with official announcements expected later this week. Analysts say a second round is likely, between opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye and the former Prime Minister Amadou Ba and candidate for the ruling party.
