HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR EXCELLENCY BASSIROU DIOMAYE DIAKHAR FAYE, PRESIDENT-ELECT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SENEGAL

The United Democratic Party (UDP) presents its compliments to the Office of the President-elect HE. Bassirou Diomaye Faye. On behalf of the National Executive Committee, the Central Committee, the entire membership of the UDP and indeed on my behalf I write to express my warmest congratulations on your historic victory.

In the same vein, I wish to congratulate all the presidential candidates for graciously conceding your victory. The Senegalese people have once again not only demonstrated their political maturity and determination to safeguard their constitutional democracy but also have shown the world that
peaceful transfer of power is possible through the ballot in Africa.

As a Pan African Party, UDP recognises your election as a win for democracy and a victory for the people. We celebrate the great achievements of PASTEF and hereby salute the courage and sacrifice of Mr Ousmane Sonko.

We in The Gambia and the UDP, in particular, pray for your success. May Allah SWT grant you the wisdom and courage to rise to the occasion and fulfil the hopes and aspirations of your compatriots. Your success will inspire many people across the continent and the world.

Finally, UDP acknowledges President Macky Sall’s decision to accept the ruling of the Constitutional Council to hold elections on 24th March 2024.
