The President also congratulated President Macky Sall for overseeing an election widely judged as peaceful and transparent, stressing that, the success of the presidential election in Senegal and the successful conduct of the general election in Liberia a few months ago had affirmed his long-held conviction that the taproot of democracy is deeply established in West Africa and will only grow stronger by good governance, justice, and fairness to all.
