Vice President Dr Isatou Touray has said a 2016 deal that required President Adama Barrow to serve for only three years is unconstitutional.

Dr Touray stated this at the National Assembly on Monday while chipping in into calls for President Barrow’s resignation.

“…I think we should not be fanning the embers of discord on a matter that is unconstitutional. Let the public understand that Three Years Jotna is unconstitutional but it was tactical strategy to effect the change, to bring every body onboard,” Dr Touray said.

Her comments comes a week after thousands of Gambians took to the streets to call on President Barrow to respect his pledge to serve for only three years.

Dr Touray was instrumental in the formation of a coalition of political parties that defeated former president Yahya Jammeh at the 2016 presidential elections and shot Mr Barrow to power. The top women’s rights activist had initially started out as an independent candidate.
