Senegal is to hold a second round of presidential elections after incumbent Abdoulaye Wade failed to win outright, election officials have confirmed. Wade gained 34.8% of the vote in Sunday's first round. He faces a run-off next month against his former prime minister, Macky Sall, who came second with 26.5%, according to (BBC) news. Sall urged the opposition to rally behind him against Wade, who has been in power since 2000 and is seeking a controversial third term. The second round is expected on 18 March. On Tuesday, Wade admitted he had failed to win more than 50% in the first round.
