Presidents of Senegal

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday welcomed his Senegalese counterpart Bassirou Diomaye Faye to Ankara for discussions aimed at bolstering bilateral relations.

Anti-establishment candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye said Monday that Senegal's people had chosen to "break" with the current political system as he was set to become the youngest president in the country's history.

Faye's main rival from the governing coalition, Amadou Ba, has already conceded the race, triggering a political earthquake in the West African nation.
