Thies: The sleepy town that may sway Senegal - Features - Al Jazeera English

Thies: The sleepy town that may sway Senegal - Features - Al Jazeera English: "There is anticipation in the air. And by no means is this Dakar.

That so many in the city have decided on Seck gives them hope that he will either win, or force the incumbent to a second round run off, in which all other opposition candidates will have been eliminated from the ballot. Voting is their end of the unspoken bargain struck by Seck's nurturing of the city.

Locals here say that Seck has fought in such a way that he hardly spent time campaigning in his home town. They say that he was so dedicated to ousting Wade that he stayed in Dakar until the end."
