Best Answer

Abdoulaye Wade was the President of Senegal at the start of 2012. He was replaced by Macky Sall on April 2.

Abdoulaye Wade is leader of Sengalese Democratic Party (PDS) and has been since its founding in 1974. He ran for presidency multiple times since 1978, and finally won in 2000. Wade became the third President of Senegal on 2000 April 1 and was re-elected in 2007. In 2001, a new constitution was enacted which shortens the length of presidential terms to 5 years. In 2012, he ran for re-election, placing first in the first round, but he was defeated by Macky Sall in the run-off election 66% to 34%.

Macky Sall is a geological engineer by profession, previously holding the position of National Security of Mines and Industry, before taking other offices including the post of Prime Minister of Senegal from 2004 April 21 to 2007 June 19. After Wade was re-elected in 2007, Sall was made the President of the National Assembly on 2007 June 20. However, political differences forced Sall to resign on 2008 November 9, at which point he formed his own party. He ran for president in 2012, placing second in the first round, but obtaining most of the other opposition votes, he won the run-off election.
