Senegal has voted for a new Parliament with Macky Sall seeking a majority to put his policies into action after ousting Abdoulaye Wade in March.

Senegal’s Macky Sall, a 50-year-old geologist, ended Abdoulaye Wade’s tenacious rule by triumphing over his mentor.

Violence has broken out in Tivaouane, the seat of Senegal’s largest Islamic brotherhood, the Tidiane, where the mayor’s office was burned down.
