Senegal voted for a new parliament on Sunday with President Macky Sall seeking a majority to put his policies into action after ousting the veteran former leader Abdoulaye Wade in a March poll. Sall, who kicked off his presidency with a probe into possible wrong-doing by the previous regime, needs to end the current dominance of parliament by members of Wade's party. Voters were slow heading to the polls, with observers saying the election could be marked by low turnout.
