DAKAR, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade has won re-election with an unassailable lead according to results from almost all the West African country's constituencies, government sources said on Tuesday.

"With this score, a first round win is secured," said one of the sources, who asked not to be named. With 95 percent of votes counted, Wade had won 56.08 percent of valid votes, the sources told Reuters. Official results from Sunday's poll were only due by the end of the week.
