Background and career

Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye (born 25 March 1980), also known mononymously as Diomaye, is a Senegalese politician and former tax official who is serving as the fifth and current president of Senegal since 2024. He was previously the general secretary of PASTEF, and won the 2024 Senegalese presidential election in place of disqualified candidate Ousmane Sonko, whom he later appointed as prime minister.

Faye was born on 25 March 1980 in Ndiaganiao, in the western department of M'bour, Senegal. He is a member of the Serer ethnic group from the noble Faye family. His middle name, "Diomaye", means "honourable" in Serer. Having had a traditional village upbringing, he has always claimed his rural origins, and "imbued himself with educational and social values typical of his land, Ndiaganiao, in Serer country".
