| Français: | Sénégal: le vote d’un candidat n’a pas été compté... |
Blog Politique du Sénégal quotes candidate Moudou Dia's declaration that at the voting center where he, his wife and two friends voted for him, he officially received no votes. The blog humorously adds (Fr): “To take 3 to 4 votes from a man who barely got .13% of the vote is a bit mean” and wonders whether Dia's decision not to contest the results isn't motivated by his desire for a minister post.
