Crisis Looms As Gambia President Rejects Election Results
Agency report
President Yahya Jammeh of The Gambia has rejected the results of the presidential election held on 1 December.
Speaking on state TV, Jammeh cited “abnormalities” in the vote and called for fresh elections.
“After a thorough investigation, I have decided to reject the outcome of the recent election,” Jammeh said.
“I lament serious and unacceptable abnormalities which have reportedly transpired during the electoral process.
“I recommend fresh and transparent elections which will be officiated by a God-fearing and independent electoral commission.”
Jammeh, who came to power in a coup in 1994, suffered a shock defeat to Adama Barrow, who won more than 45% of the vote.
The US “strongly condemned” Jammeh’s statement.
“This action is a reprehensible and unacceptable breach of faith with the people of The Gambia and an egregious attempt to undermine a credible election process and remain in power illegitimately,” said state department spokesman Mark Toner.
Barrow, a property developer, is due to take office in late January.
Mai Ahmad Fatty, the head of his transition team, told Reuters they were “consulting on what to do”, adding: “As far as we are concerned, the people have voted. We will maintain peace and stability and not let anyone provoke us into violence.”
The Gambia is the smallest country on mainland Africa, with a population of fewer than two million.
What I have observed in terms of laptop memory is that often there are specs such as SDRAM, DDR etc, that must match up the requirements of the motherboard. If the personal computer’s motherboard is kind of current while there are no operating-system issues, modernizing the memory literally normally requires under an hour or so. It’s on the list of easiest laptop upgrade types of procedures one can think about. Thanks for sharing your ideas. ラ ブ ド ー ル
