Opposition leader Bassirou Diomaye Faye is leading the race in Senegal’s presidential election. Several candidates have conceded to him, however official results are yet to be announced. Millions took part in a peaceful vote on Sunday, following three years of turbulence and opposition protests against the incumbent, Macky Sall. The ruling coalition’s choice, Amadou Ba, has denied that he has lost. He said he expected to contest a run-off vote to decide a winner.
