Description
A day after anti-system newcomer Bassirou Diomaye Faye swept to a first-round victory, people in Senegal’s capital Dakar say they want “radical change,” after years of deadly unrest, economic stagnation and a political crisis that has one in three of the country’s roughly 17 million inhabitants living in poverty. “Yesterday's vote was a punishment vote,” says Cheikh Lo, a tailor. Faye’s main rival the governing coalition's Amadou Ba conceded defeat after failing to woo voters on a promise of continuing the status quo. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
