Senegal's Pastef Party Secures Parliamentary Majority

The ruling party's victory paves the way for President Faye to implement his ambitious reform agenda.

Pastef is projected to win approximately 131 out of 165 seats in the National Assembly, granting them a decisive majority.
Former President Macky Sall and other opposition leaders have conceded defeat, acknowledging Pastef's electoral success.
The election was marked by a peaceful voting process, despite earlier tensions and sporadic clashes during the campaign.
President Faye aims to address economic challenges, including unemployment and inflation, through a 25-year development plan.
An audit revealed a larger-than-expected budget deficit, prompting negotiations with the IMF for continued financial support.
