Senegal's president-elect Faye vows to govern with humility.

44-year-old Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a newcomer to Senegalese politics and the opposition presidential candidate, has pledged to govern with humility and transparency after winning Senegal's presidential election. Faye, who secured 36.2% of votes, has promised to prioritize youth welfare and dedicate more state resources to help young Senegalese. His victory, which promises a peaceful transition of power, is seen as a positive development for democracy in West Africa, especially amid eight military coups since 2020.
