Senegal election results: Opposition's Bassirou Diomaye Faye set to win presidency
Source: BBC News
Senegal's ruling coalition candidate Amadou Ba has called the opposition's Bassirou Diomaye Faye to concede victory in Sunday's presidential elections, a government official said.
Unofficial results showed that Mr Faye had a strong lead over Mr Ba.
Mr Faye had been in prison 10 days before the vote and campaigned on the promise of radical change.
Official results are expected in the coming days from the election which was originally due last month.
