The United States congratulates President Abdoulaye Wade on his
re-election victory in Senegal’s elections last month. We further
commend the people of the Republic of Senegal for their unprecedented
high voter turnout. Their involvement is a testament to Senegal’s
commitment to a healthy democratic system. The United States stands
with the Senegalese people on this occasion and will continue to support
their efforts to build a safe and prosperous democracy.
