As of 2024, which African country has the continent’s youngest president?

Senegal has ushered in its youngest president yet, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a 44-year-old former tax inspector who swapped crunching numbers for running a country. His election in March 2024 marked a significant pivot in Senegal’s political landscape. Faye, stepping into office on April 2, 2024, is not just setting records for his age; he’s also promising transparency, anti-corruption measures, and a fresh approach to managing the nation’s resources.
