The President of Senegal is the head of state of Senegal. According to the 2001 Constitution, the president is elected for a 5-year term; this was changed back to the pre-2001 seven-year term in 2008, though incumbent president Macky Sall has stated he wants to have it reverted to five-year terms.[1]
