Senegal’s President Trends With Two First Ladies
First-round winner and Senegal’s brand new President, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, is coming to the seat of power with many unique attributes.
Apart from promising radical change it was an unprecedented sight in the national politics of the West African country as President Faye stepped up with his two wives as first ladies.
Polygamy is a traditional and religious practice firmly anchored in the culture of Senegal where the overwhelming majority is Muslim.
Agency reports indicate that Faye’s first wife, Marie Khone, who until now had never been in the spotlight, comes from the same village as 44-year-old Faye. They married 15 years ago and have four children.
However, he married his second wife Absa just over a year ago.
Polygamy has long stirred controversy and the public appearance by BDF, as he is known, with his two wives at his side cheered on by thousands of his supporters has made it a top talking point in the media, online and at home, sparking diverse reactions.
Polygamy is widespread in Senegal particularly in rural areas and is considered a way of widening one's family.
In response to detractors, the incoming president, who won 54.28 percent in the March 24 vote, shows nothing but pride in his family situation.
"I have beautiful children because I have wonderful wives. They are very beautiful. I give thanks to God they are always fully behind me," he was reported to have said during the presidential race.
