Last Friday, Senegal’s Constitutional Council recognised Faye’s victory in the presidential election which allowed him to take office oath as Senegal’s fifth president.
The Supreme Court approved the provisional results, which were made public on Wednesday based on tallying votes from all polling places.
In the just concluded election held last Sunday, Faye received over 54% of the vote, while Amadou Ba, the nominee of the ruling coalition, received over 35%.
