BANJUL – The opposition coalition of Gambia’s president-elect Adama Barrow on Monday called for outgoing President Yahya Jammeh to step down immediately and hand over power.
Jammeh plans to contest his election defeat at the Supreme Court.
Gambia currently has no sitting Supreme Court and the coalition said in a statement read to reporters in the capital Banjul that Jammeh has no constitutional authority in his final days in office to name new judges to hear his petition.(Reuters)
