Bassirou Diomaye Faye, aged 44, has gone from being a political prisoner to becoming Senegal's youngest president within a remarkably short span of 20 days. This remarkable journey reflects a broader narrative of change and renewed hope in Senegal's democracy, amidst political turmoil and a high-stakes election.

Faye's victory, fuelled by grassroots movements and overwhelming diaspora support, signifies not only a personal triumph but also promises sweeping reforms and a new direction for Senegal's political landscape.
