A Senegalese opposition coalition, Yewwi Askane Wi (YAW), on Wednesday said it would not accept the results of legislative elections, alleging fraud.

Official results of Sunday's vote are expected on Thursday, but both President Macky Sall's ruling party, Benno Bokk Yakaar , and the opposition have claimed victory, citing partial results.

“In absolute terms, we are ahead of BBY and we have put BBY into the parliamentary opposition,” YAW representative Dethie Fall told a media conference. Nevertheless, Fall said YAW would not accept Thursday's results, alleging voting irregularities took place at many polling stations in northern regions.
