We reported earlier on Senegalese
President Macky Sall's election win, which will see him serve a second five-year
term in office.
His opposition challengers now
say they reject the results, but believe a formal challenge would be futile.
Idrissa Seck, who won the
second-largest share of votes in Sunday's poll after Mr Sall, has been holed up
at his home holding discussions with the three other opposition candidates.
From there he has told reporters:
Quote Message: We reject
firmly and with no hesitation this result. We will make no challenge before the
Constitutional Council. It is clear that the incumbent candidate has
confiscated the will of the Senegalese people and will be alone to face the
consequences before the people and before history.”
We reject firmly and with no
hesitation this result. We will make no challenge before the Constitutional
Council. It is clear that the incumbent candidate has confiscated the will of
the Senegalese people and will be alone to face the consequences before the
people and before history.”
Two well-known opposition
figures were barred from taking part in the election because of corruption
convictions which critics say were politically motivated.
The official results of
Sunday's poll saw Mr Sall win in the first round, with 58.27% of votes.
