(JollofNews) – Gambia’s former president Yahya Jammeh has withdrawn his challenge to last December’s presidential election results.
According to judicial sources, Mr Jammeh who now lives in exile in Equatorial Guinea as part of a deal brokered by regional leaders, has instructed his lawyer, Edward Mendy to discontinue the suit in the interest of peace and unity.
Mr Jammeh who ruled the Gambia for 22 years was defeated in the election by Adama Barrow of the opposition coalition.
He initially conceded defeat and praised the country’s electoral system as rigged proof. He changed his mind a week later and declared the results null and void citing huge and unacceptable mistakes by the electoral commission.
However, the supreme court was unable to hear the case due to a shortage of judges. And at the end of his mandate, he was forced to step down from power following threats of military force by regional forces.
We Will not back down until Yahya Jammeh face justice, we are on the course to track him down. Justice must be done.
Withdrawn what? an unwinnable case. This fool will understand or learn anything till he is bundled in a shack, handcuffed, muzzled and brought back to face justice for his various crimes. He can run and run but he will not be able to hide from the wrath of Almighty Allah and the people of the Gambia for his crimes. He is evil personified and praise be to Allah for ridding our beloved land of this evil man.
useless people Jammeh is more than your thinking
Maybe he can no longer afford the court fees/
Mike, is better you shot your dirty mouth. President Jammeh is incomparable to all the British Politicians UK ever had.
President Jammeh have never invaded any country and never robbed any nation on earth. Jammeh is a righteous ruler not like your Vampire government who have a history of killing hundreds of thousands of innocent lives in the dirty name democracy. You invade Iraq,Afghanistan,Libya etc just for Oil so as to feed your population and you says nothing about it. You wiped out our elephants in our Gambia,robbed our resources, gave part of our nation to the French now Senegal Cassamance,centuries of your illegal stay in our great nation he left us with nothing absolutely. You shamelessly jumping in like rats on anything about Jammeh and Gambia.
Jammeh is Gambia and Gambia is Jammeh and no one can do anything about it. He is coming back to his Gambia and nothing or no one can do anything about it. Not even your western and Senegalese imposed President on Gambians. We will and must take our country from these coward thieves and criminals back and restore our dignity and respect. Focus on your war criminals Tony Blair and David Camroun who are working freely enjoying protection.
