Without Prejudice:

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Following the final certification by the IEC, and on behalf of The Gambia Moral Congress, I wish to congratulate H.E Adama Barrow, on his re-election as President of the Republic of The Gambia.

This victory is a triumph of Gambian democracy. All the candidates demonstrated spirited attempt during the process. Gambians demonstrated maturity, and spoke resoundingly loud about the path for their future. Our sovereignty is stronger and our nation more resilient. We must now begin the process of national unity in earnest, ensuring no one is left behind. The people have spoken, the verdict pronounced, the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one for our country. We must now fully focus on the business of the people without delay. God Bless the Republic of The Gambia 🇬🇲!
