Bassirou Diomaye Faye Sworn In As President
Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye (born 25 March 1980), commonly known as Diomaye,[1] is a Senegalese politician and former tax inspector who has served as the 5th and current President of Senegal since 2024.[2] He is the general secretary of the banned party PASTEF and won the 2024 Senegalese presidential election in place of disqualified candidate Ousmane Sonko.[3] (Wkipedia)
From Political Prisoner to President: it’s one for the books in the annals of Senegal’s history, as Bassirou Diomaye Faye, the new President of Senegal, takes the oath of office.
At 44 years old, he has become the youngest President in the country’s history. He secured his position by winning 54.28% of the vote in the first round of elections.
It is worth noting that just 20 days ago, His Excellency Faye was languishing in prison, where he has been for the past 11 months, after being arrested for writing a post on Facebook in February 2023, which was deemed as a threat to state security.
