DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Provisional election results show Senegal's new president-elect won the vote in a landslide.
Senegal's electoral commission announced Tuesday that Macky Sall had won 65.80 percent of ballots cast in Sunday's runoff ballot.
Incumbent President Abdoulaye Wade won 34.20 percent of the vote — slightly less than his percentage in the first round of voting.
Wade conceded defeat to his opponent within hours of polls closing, and world leaders and observers have applauded Senegal for holding a peaceful and transparent vote.
Wade has been in power for 12 years, but his popularity has fallen amid rising costs of living and high unemployment in this country on Africa's western coast.

The first electric vehicle I ever drove was a Tesla Roadster in 2011. It was with great anticipation that I slid behind the wheel of the 2025 Acura ZDX Type S. Sure, it's a midsize SUV, but it wears the Type S moniker, a name reserved only for the most fun-to-drive in the Acura stable. On launch, the ZDX will be available in A-Spec and Type S trims -- both of which come equipped with a 102 kWh battery.
