WINDHOEK, March 28 — Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba has extended congratulations to Senegalese President-elect Bassirou Diomaye Faye on his victory in the March 25 presidential elections. “I wish to congratulate President-elect Faye on his brilliant victory during the March 2024 presidential elections in Senegal,” Mbumba said in his congratulatory message Thursday. “The peaceful nature of the elections shows that Senegal continues to be a stellar example of stability and progress in Africa.” Mbumba highlighted the longstanding relations between Namibia and Senegal, recalling the support extended by the Senegalese people to the ruling SWAPO party and young Namibians during the liberation struggle. “Since independence, our bilateral relations have grown from strength to strength. I therefore look forward to working with Faye in the interest of mutually beneficial bilateral relations and a multilateral order that champions a prosperous Africa and a fairer world,” Mbumba said. Diomaye Faye, representing the opposition coalition “Diomaye President,” clinched victory in Senegal’s presidential election with 54.28 percent of the votes, according to results released Wednesday by the country’s National Vote Counting Commission.
