He was speaking after his rival, current President Abdoulaye Wade, admitted defeat in Sunday's run-off. Mr Wade was seeking a third term in office, after arguing that a new two-term limit should not apply retrospectively to him. This sparked violent protests earlier this year in the West African nation, leaving six people dead. Official results from Sunday's election are expected within two days. Celebrations in Dakar There were street parties across Dakar on Sunday night Speaking in front of thousands of cheering supporters in the capital Dakar, Mr Sall, 50, promised to be a president for all Senegalese. He stressed that the people were the main winners in the poll. Earlier, Mr Wade "phoned his rival Macky Sall at 21:30 GMT to congratulate him after the first results showed him to be the winner of a presidential run-off," the Senegalese Press Agency said. Mr Wade, 85, has ruled Senegal for 12 years. Even before Mr Wade's concession, thousands of Sall supporters began celebrating on the streets of Dakar. They chanted "Macky president!" and "We have won!" Former allies EFTA_R1_00081268 EFTA01770297
