NPP’s Birom Sowe has emerged as the new MP of Niamina West after his comprehensive victory in the constituency’s by-election.

Sowe denied GDC from retaining the Niamina West National Assembly seat by defeating Yero Jallow. The election was forced by the death of sitting MP Demba Sowe, a GDC representative.

Sowe won the contest by 1,716 votes to Yero Jallow’s 805 votes.
