“Merci” – a one word ‘Thank You’ tweet is the most re-tweeted tweet by Senegal’s new president Macky Sall, which his team sent on March 25, the day of the run-off elections against incumbent Abdoulaye Wade. Although the account is written in the first person President Macky Sall does not tweet himself. Since January 2012 the Twitter feed is directly linked to his Facebook account automatically generating tweets whenever a new photo is uploaded or a news item is posted.
