The latest news from Senegal’s 2024 presidential election indicates that millions of voters are participating in a hotly contested race to elect the next president from a field of 17 candidates. The election was delayed following a period of uncertainty after President Macky Sall’s unsuccessful attempt to postpone it. The polls are taking place amidst political tensions and have tested the stability of one of West Africa’s most stable democracies. The election represents a pivotal juncture in the country’s journey toward more accountable, responsive, and democratic governance. The voting process is ongoing, and the results are expected to be announced soon. This election is significant as it marks the first time since Senegal gained independence in the 1960s that none of the candidates is a sitting president, adding to the intensity and significance of the electoral race.
