ResumoSignificance The ruling party’s Mohamed Bazoum won the February 21 second round with 55.75% of the vote against 44.25% for former President Mahamane Ousmane. Ousmane, an ally of Amadou, alleged fraud and refused to accept the results. Impacts Bazoum will enter office with good relationships with his fellow Sahelian and African heads of state, to whom he is a well-known figure. Bazoum should have the parliamentary muscle to carry out his agenda; the ruling party has a plurality of seats. Key politicians have now been fixtures of the political scene since the 1990s, eliciting a sense of political stagnation among the young.
