DAKAR (Reuters) -Early results from Senegal's presidential vote put opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye ahead, sending his supporters to celebrate in the streets, though his main rival from the ruling coalition said a run-off will be needed to determine the winner.
At least five of the 19 candidates in the race issued statements as results trickled after the election on Sunday, congratulating Faye.
