President Uhuru congratulates Macky Sall, Sengal’s president

I write to convey my hearty congratulations following your re-election for a second term in office as the President of the Republic of Senegal.

Excellency, your victory is a validation of the trust and confidence the people of Senegal have in your ability to continue leading your country on the trajectory of success.

The peaceful election in which you emerged the winner is a highlight of a robust democratic foundation which has, over the years, earned your country recognition as a model of stability and progressive politics in Africa. 

Kenya and Senegal enjoy longstanding friendly relations and a robust framework of cooperation in many areas of mutual interest. I look forward to continue working closely with Your Excellency to further deepen ties between Nairobi and Dakar through proactive bilateral and multilateral engagements. 

Excellency, as you settle down to discharge your fresh mandate, I wish you success and good health as you continue to steer your great nation to new levels of prosperity. 

Accept, Your Excellency and Dear Friend, my renewed offer of close collaboration and a handshake of friendship between the Republic of Kenya and the Republic of Senegal.
