In a major political shift‚ Senegals PASTEF party got a clear win in nov-17 parliamentary elections (showing its growing influence across the country). The victory gives Bassirou Diomaye Faye more power to make changes he talked about during his campaign
Former head-of-state Macky Sall posted on X to say congrats to PASTEF while other big-name opposition figures also accepted the results. The elections outcome means the ruling party will have enough seats to pass new laws; this includes economic and social reforms that Faye wants to put in place
The vote shows how much support PASTEF has gained since Fayes win in early-24. Its worth noting that three main opposition groups - including Takku Wallu coalition - didnt wait long to accept defeat after voting ended (which points to a clear-cut result)
