When Senegalese President Macky Sall canceled the planned election that was supposed to occur in February 2024, everybody thought that the country which has been hailed as the most stable democracy in Africa, was about to lose that title. However, the pressure from the country and the international community eventually led the President to reverse his decision, and on March 24th, 2024, the Senegalese Presidential election was held with nineteen candidates contesting for that position. And, based on a general amnesty law passed shortly before the vote to ease political tensions, election result, the next President of Senegal is none other than 44-year-old opposition leader Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a man who was in jail two weeks before the election and who nobody knew about two years ago. So who is Diomaye Faye? What is his plan for the people of Senegal and can he be compared to Africa’s youngest President, Captain Ibrahim Traore? Let's find out in this video.
Born in 1980, Diomaye Faye never dreamed that he would one day become the President of Senegal. After graduating from the university in 2000, he bagged a master's degree in law and started a career as a tax inspector in the Tax and Estates department. It was during this period that he met and forged a friendship with the leader of Senegalese main opposition party Ousmane Sonko, who was also a tax inspector at the time. Together they were instrumental in forming the Taxes and Estates Union where Faye advocated for facilitating homeownership for tax and property agents.
