Senegal: Voters have approved a new constitution. Reuters and the French Press Agency both report that a huge majority(1) supported the proposed changes.

The new constitution will also end the Senate【参议院】. President Abdoulaye Wade had called on voters to approve the new constitution, so did all the major political parties.
