Thursday, 19 January 2017 "The presidency of Yahya Jammeh is officially over" - President-elect of Gambia, Adama Barrow

President-elect of the Republic of The Gambia, Adama Barrow, has declared that the presidency of his defeated opponent, Yahya Jammeh is over. Although Gambia's parliament extended Jammeh's term, which was supposed to be officially over today, by an extra 3 months (90 days), Barrow insists that his inauguration will hold today, but in another country.

"My dearest Gambians — the presidency of Yahya Jammeh is officially over. The new era of Gambia is here at last. I would like to inform you that the Inauguration Ceremony is going to take place at the Gambian Embassy in Dakar, Senegal," Barrow said.
