President Adama Barrow’s electoral victory in Saturday’s election has left many UDP supporters and leaders in a state of complete shock and confusion. No wonder their leader Darboe rejected the result even before the final announcement of result.
But while everything was unravelling some supporters of UDP have either accepted or congratulated President Adama Barrow.
Yunus Hydara was among the first in UDP accept defeat and going on Facebook to state this publicly.
He wrote: “I have been out of words at the wake of such disappointing election results but I accept them as the wishes and verdict of the Gambian people. So best of luck to president elect Barrow.
“I’d like to thank my party leader Hon. Darboe for the steady leadership and guidance he provided to us throughout the elections. He is a well revered statesman. I am very proud of my party members for their commitment, efforts and sacrifice.”
Sheriff Ceesay of the dead Three Years Jotna in a video message said: “Adama Barrow is not our enemy. It’s our programs and policies that are different. But we have all seen on the 4th of December how the election went.
“So I just want to tell Adama Barrow congratulations. He is my president from now to the next five years.”
