More than 7 million registered voters in Senegal are choosing 165 lawmakers in the national assembly.

President Bassirou Diomaye Faye was elected in March on an anti-establishment platform.

Faye 's political party needs at least 83 seats in order to gain a majority in the assembly.

His party is facing the Takku Wallu opposition platform led by former President Macky Sall .
