44-year-old opposition politician Bassirou Diomaye Faye was sworn in Tuesday in Diamniadio as Senegal’s fifth president, having defeated main rival and ruling party coalition candidate Amadou Ba.
Faye, who garnered 54% of the vote in the delayed election, is the youngest man elected president in Senegal.
The presidents of neighbouring Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Ghana and Nigeria, as well as high-level officials from other African nations, attended.
Faye then appointed his mentor Ousmane Sonko (49), a fierce opponent of former president Macky Sall, as Senegal’s new prime minister.
It was Sonko who rallied Senegalese youth to enable the election of his top lieutenant, Faye.
Sonko was barred from standing in the March 24 presidential election because of a conviction for defamation.
He denied any wrongdoing, but chose the little-known Faye as his replacement, urging his supporters to back him instead.
Sonko and Faye, both former tax inspectors, have positioned themselves as opponents of corruption and elitism and called for Senegal to reject what they see as lingering ties to French colonialism.
In their campaign manifesto, the duo promised to renegotiate mining, oil and gas contracts and create a new national currency.
According to Reuters, Sonko is expected to present Faye with a list of proposed ministers for his approval in the coming days.
He and Faye were arrested and jailed on a defamation and contempt of court charge, which they denied.
They both left jail less than a month ago following a new amnesty law introduced to ease tensions in a country that is usually one of West Africa’s most stable democracies.
They joined the campaign trail under the banner “Diomaye is Sonko”, drawing popular support that carried Faye to a landslide victory with over 54% of the vote in the first round.
Ousmane Sonko, a firebrand politician and devout Muslim, advocates for stricter legislation against homosexuality in Senegal. Notably, over 90% of the population in Senegal adheres to the Muslim faith. Homosexual acts are already subject to imprisonment in Senegal.

Faye Sworn In As Senegal’s 5th President, Ousmane Sonko Appointed Prime Minister

Brighton Mutebuka, a UK-based Zimbabwean academic, asserts that the election of Bassirou Diomaye Faye as the President of Senegal underscores several critical factors that contribute to the success of young African politicians in elections. 
These factors include an independent electoral body, minimal intervention by the security establishment, and a populist political message.
Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a relatively unheralded 44-year-old opposition leader, secured an impressive 53.7% of the votes in Senegal’s presidential election held recently, making him the youngest elected president in Africa.
Faye’s victory reflects the youth’s frustration with high unemployment and concerns about governance in the West African nation.
Commenting on this development, Mutebuka acknowledges that while it remains uncertain whether the Pan-Africanism and anti-colonial sentiment that propelled Faye into office can extend to Southern Africa, the possibility of change exists when the electoral body operates independently and the military refrains from propping up incumbents. Wrote Mutebuka:
<blockquote>
<h2>Lessons From Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s Election As Senegalese President</h2>
1. In Africa, perhaps sub-Saharan Africa, age is no longer a barrier to ascendancy to the highest office.
2. Whilst there is no guarantee that what happened in Senegal can be replicated elsewhere, particularly pertaining to the strength of feeling vis-à-vis Pan-Africanism &amp; anti-colonial sentiment, it seems that there is a general trend in that direction which can be deployed to tap into young voters.
3. Perhaps the strength of feeling / relative radicalism is more pronounced in West Africa where we have witnessed wildly / radically anti-French coups which have achieved resonance with the rank &amp; file citizens in Mali, Burkina Faso &amp; Niger.
4. It is not clear at this point whether or not such sentiments can extend to the rough &amp; tumble of Southern African politics, especially in Zimbabwe.
5. @Julius_S_Malema has clearly been doing well by championing a populist pro-poor &amp; pro-Russia &amp; China agenda &amp; by definition, anti-West. What is clear is that he has not been doing well enough nationally to threaten to torpedo the prevailing political orthodoxy &amp; thus upend @MYANC’s dominance.
6. In Zimbabwe there’s an entrenched military-industrial complex in power and there are solid grounds that but for that interference in political matters, regime change would have taken place in elections which took place in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2013, 2018 &amp; 2023.
7. Zambia, Botswana, Namibia &amp; South Africa are, in comparison to Mozambique, Angola, Lesotho, Swaziland &amp; DRC, relatively stable democracies where the will of the people can roughly be expected to prevail, bar one or two considerations.
8. It would appear that the key ingredients for transition to take place are: an independent electoral body, lack of intervention by the security establishment and a sound / populist political message which galvanises the masses &amp; captures the prevailing mood / resonates with the grassroots.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
Whilst it is clear that West Africa is a hotbed of anti-French political sentiments, it’s unclear whether or not such undercurrents also permeate the underbelly of Southern African politics. Democracy is still clearly a work in progress in the region – perhaps it could be said in retreat.
Liberation Struggle political parties still hold sway but largely through exploiting their struggle credentials via conflating / blurring the boundaries between party &amp; state institutions – which makes for unstable democracies, and fluid &amp; uncertain political futures.

Lessons From Bassirou Diomaye Faye's Election As Senegalese President - Mutebuka

Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a relatively unknown 44-year-old opposition leader, has secured approximately 53.7% of the votes in Senegal’s presidential election, according to the country’s electoral commission as reported by Reuters on Monday.
Meanwhile, the ruling coalition candidate, Amadou Bataking, received 36.2% of the votes. These provisional results are based on vote tallies from 90% of the polling stations.
Faye is poised to become the next president of the West African nation, achieving this milestone in less than two weeks after being released from prison to participate in the election
According to the Senegalese News Agency (APS), the constitutional council will announce the results starting April 3rd.
According to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-68656967">BBC</a>, Bassirou Diomaye Faye was announced in February as the so-called “Plan B” candidate, replacing the charismatic opposition firebrand Ousmane Sonko.
Both men founded the now-disbanded Pastef party, both men are tax collectors, and both men were jailed last year on charges they said were politically motivated.
Sonko ended up being convicted of two offences, which meant he was barred from the election, so Faye stepped in.
The election was originally due last month but Senegal’s incumbent president Macky Sall postponed it just hours before campaigning was set to begin, triggering deadly opposition protests and a democratic crisis.
Most candidates had very little time to prepare once the new election date was set – but Faye had just over a week after being freed from jail.
Sall congratulated Faye on Monday, March 25, while the former prime minister who was the other frontrunner, and who was backed by incumbent President Sall, conceded defeat based on preliminary results.
Dioamaye Faye promised to rule with humility and protect Senegal from corruption and interference from foreign powers.
He also vowed to advance Africa’s political and economic integration and also pledged reliability to Senegal’s partners.
Faye’s performance reflected frustration among youth with high unemployment and concerns about governance in the West African nation.
Faye’s roots lie in a small town in central Senegal. He is a practising Muslim and has two wives.
He had been jailed on various charges, including defamation.
More than 7 million people were registered to vote in a country of roughly 17 million and the civil society observer group known as COSCE said voter turnout was over 61%. To win, candidates had to secure more than 50% of the vote.
Sunday’s election was also the first without a sitting president on the ballot after the introduction of term limits that barred Sall from seeking a third term.

Senegal’s Opposition Candidate Wins More Than 53% Of The Vote In Presidential Election

Ousmane Sonko, Senegal’s prominent opposition leader, has been freed from prison ahead of the presidential election scheduled for March 24, 2024. His release triggered jubilant celebrations across the capital, Dakar.
Sonko and his key ally, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, were both set free on Thursday, March 14, his lawyer Bamba Cisse told <a href="https://apnews.com/article/senegal-sonko-presidential-election-prison-release-fcfc43111c85ab971af0b3e716d9f04b">The Associated Press</a>.
Sonko is widely seen as the main challenger to President Macky Sall’s ruling party.
Upon his release, he was greeted outside the prison by crowds of supporters waving flags, chanting, and holding up posters.
Sonko had been in prison since July and has fought a prolonged legal battle to run for president in the upcoming election.
His fiery campaign to tackle corruption has resonated with young people in a country facing economic hardship, partly attributed to Russia’s war in Ukraine which has led to rising food and energy prices.
Sall himself decided not to seek a third term in office after Sonko’s supporters launched months of protests that at times turned deadly.
Sonko’s presidential bid faced legal challenges, including accusations of rape and defamation in 2021.
He was acquitted of the rape charges but was convicted of corrupting youth and sentenced to two years in prison last summer, which ignited deadly protests across the country.
His supporters maintain that these were efforts to derail his candidacy.
Sonko’s release follows Sall’s decree to exonerate political prisoners, including hundreds who were arrested in the violent protests last year.
Sall tried to postpone the election last month, just weeks before it was to take place on February 25.
The Constitutional Council rejected Sall’s postponement and ordered the government to set a new date as soon as possible.
