THE Patriots of Senegal party (Pastef) is poised to win a parliamentary majority as main opposition leaders conceded defeat today.

The snap election was called by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye to give him a parliamentary majority to enable him to carry out the ambitious reforms he promised during his campaign.

Former president Macky Sall, leader of the main opposition Takku Wallu coalition, congratulated Pastef in a post on the X social media platform.
