United Democratic Party leader Ousainou Darboe, Gambia Democratic Congress leader Mamma Kandeh and the independent Essa Faal have vowed to leave all options on the table as they rejected the election result on Sunday evening.

Darboe, Kandeh and Faal have been handed the shock of their lives after President Adama Barrow swat them aside in ruthless fashion in almost all of the country’s 53 constituencies.

And Darboe reading a statement on behalf of the stunned leaders, said: “The United Democratic Party and its partners, GFA and Honourable Marie Sock, the Gambia Democratic Party and parties that endorsed his candidature, Honourable Essa Faal have the following preliminary observations on the just concluded electoral process; one, considering that the Gambia has an electorate of approximately 900,000 with on-the-spot counting, we are concerned that there has been an inordinate delay in the announcement of results; two, a number of issues have been raised by our agents and representatives in polling stations, centres and at the IEC headquarters.

“As a result, the representatives of the aforementioned candidates at the IEC headquarters refused to to endorse some of the results that were announced through the public media. We are investigating this matter and our partners, to determine our future course of action. At this point in time, we reject the results announced thus far by the IEC.

“We reserve the right to embark on any action the situation requires. To this end, all options are on the table. In the meantime, we urge all Gambians to remain calm and peaceful while we continue our investigations of these concerns.”
