Mr Abdoulie Ebrima Jammeh, leader of National Unity Party, has also congratulated President Adama Barrow saying the election was free, fair and transparent.
“I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate His Excellency President Adama Barrow on his re-election to the office of the president of the Republic of The Gambia. We wish him the very best of luck in steering the affairs of our dear nation on the right party,” he said in a statement.
He also thanked the opposition candidates who lost the election for their effort in trying to an alternative to the Gambian People, regardless of their efforts falling short as Barrow has won the election for the second time since his first election in 2016.
“At NUP we believe that there is no integrity in running for election and losing and therefore I wish to commiserate with you all for not being successful this time around,” he said.
Mr Jammeh also thanked the voters who took their time to vote during these elections regardless of candidate of choice, adding the 2021 presidential election circle is now over “let’s get all hands-on deck to work towards the development of our beloved country without regards to tribe, religious, or political affiliation.”
“Lending hand to the government in seeing to it that we achieve our aspirations as a nation we will lead the path of unity towards our common good,” he added.
