DAKAR (Reuters) -President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's Pastef party has won 130 out of 165 seats in Senegal's legislative elections, securing a clear parliamentary majority, state TV said on Thursday, citing provisional results.
Faye, who came to power in April after a landslide election victory, dissolved the house two years into its five-year term on Sept. 12. He said working with the assembly was difficult after the opposition refused to pass bills from the executive.
