Senegal's Constitutional Council confirmed the presidential election victory of opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
Faye's victory is the first time a Senegalese opposition candidate won the election in the first round since independence in 1960.
The top court validated provisional results announced on Wednesday based on vote tallies from 100% of polling stations.
The African Union (AU) congratulated Faye on his victory, hailing the 'unanimous acceptance of the results'.
