“The Gambian People Have Elected Adama Barrow,” GDC Tells Yaya Jammeh.
The Gambia Democratic Congress has learnt with dismay the decision by President Yaya Jammeh to annul the 2016 election results. The move contravenes the constitution of the Gambia. GDC has accepted the outcome of the elections and that position remains unchanged. The Gambian people have elected Adama Barrow in a free, fair and transparent election which President Jammeh himself innitially accepted and GDC has no plans to contest it. Hon Mamma Kandeh is urging President Jammeh to reverse his decision in the interest of peace and stability.”Your swift decision earlier to concede defeat and your subsequent move to call Adama Barrow to congratulate him was lauded throughout the world”. “We therefore prevail on you to reconsider your decision” Mamma Kandeh added. The GDC leader appeals to all Gambians to remain calm while the situation is being resolved.

Gambians explictly spoke out their minds in broad daylight. Respect the will of the people and pave way Sir. Its an outright expression with no constitutional crisis. Please do not confirm my fears.
