Senegal’s President Faye’s Party Wins Majority in Parliamentary Elections

DAKAR, Nov 21 – President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s Pastef party secured 130 out of 165 seats in Senegal’s legislative elections, winning a clear parliamentary majority, according to state TV. The provisional results were announced on Thursday.

Faye, who took office in April after a landslide victory, dissolved the previous parliament in September due to difficulties working with opposition members who had blocked key executive bills.
