Drive Time Special : Senegalese Presidential Elections 2019 : Results coming out. More results to come. (Sunday, 24th February 2019)

Today is election day in Senegal and results are coming out fast. Senior broadcaster Tamsier Joof hosts a special edition of the Drive Time Show from our London studio joined by our field journalists in Senegal. This is the first set of results delivered by Senior reporter Macaire Ndiaye (DJ Mac) live from Senegal - who joined Tamsier Joof at our London studio - on the phone. Tamsier had already finished the Morning Ride Show, and then the Drive Time Show few minutes before results started to come out later in the afternoon (see our previous Morning Ride and Drive Time Shows) and had to go back on air to take the results on-air. More results to come! Join Tamsier tonight on Open Mike for analysis of the results so far.
