[1] Fourteen parties or coalitions participated in the elections, but they were marked by a major opposition boycott.

[12] On 5 April, it was announced that the coalition And Defarat Sénégal, including And-Jëf/African Party for Democracy and Socialism (AJ-PADS), would contest the election, with a spokesman saying that boycotts were not politically effective.

[13] On 6 April, several of the main parties participating in the boycott announced that they were withdrawing their guarantees of 15 million CFA francs in order to invalidate their candidacies, citing the unwillingness of Wade to engage in dialogue.

[17] In late April, the boycotting parties began a tour intended to explain the boycott throughout the country.

Sall said that the Sopi Coalition won all 35 electoral districts and all of the 90 seats determined by majority voting.

[25] On the same day, the Siggil Sénégal Front demanded that Wade cancel the election and engage in dialogue with the opposition.

[3] On 19 June Cheikh Hadjibou Soumaré, a technocrat who was not a member of the PDS, was appointed prime minister by Wade to replace Sall.
