Senegal has designated its new president in the person of Macky Sall, whose candidature against Wade was supported by the opposition coalition.

Even though Macky Sall used to be Prime Minister of Abdoulaye Wade, he represented for many the only possible alternative to Wade’s highly criticized – both on the national and international scene – will to run for a third mandate.

Conflicts in Senegal blemished the announcement of Wade’s third stint. And if Wade has conceded defeat to Macky Sall, the country expects great changes from their new President and it’s political party.
