President Samia Suluhu Hassan yesterday sent a congratulatory message to Senegals president-elect Bassirou Diomaye Faye for emerging the winner of the 2024 presidential election held last Sunday in the West African nation.
Faye, a Senegalese political newcomer and a tax inspector, defeated former Prime Minister Amadou Ba of the outgoing governing coalition.
In her congratulatory message, President Samia said : “I present my heartfelt congratulations to you for your victory in the 2024 presidential race, and to the people of Senegal for the peaceful election.”
She said she expects to work closely with the new Senegalese leader in strengthening relations between the two countries.
